To:
Dear Faculty Associates:
Our final Energy Materials at Harvard talk of the semester is this coming
Wednesday, May 1, featuring Thomas Jaramillo, Assistant Professor of
Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, on "Catalyzing Key Chemical
Transformations for Renewable, Sustainable Energy." If you are able to
share the below message with your colleagues/students, we would be grateful.
Thanks very much,
Kellie

*Adapting current energy systems to reduce fossil fuel dependence
and minimize impacts on climate, environment, and health is the grand
challenge we face today. New materials are of crucial importance for
meeting this goal. Materials are central to every energy technology, and
advances in materials science can help raise energy efficiencies and
resolve emissions problems. Join the Harvard University Center for the
Environment for:*
*Energy Materials at Harvard*
“Catalyzing Key Chemical Transformations for Renewable, Sustainable Energy”
*Thomas Jaramillo*, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, Stanford
University
*Wednesday, May 1
12:00pm
Harvard University Center for the Environment Seminar Room
24 Oxford Street, 3rd Floor
Cambridge, MA 02138*
Professor Jaramillo's research group investigates chemical transformations
in energy. More specifically, they study the chemistry and physics of
materials as they relate to catalyzing chemical reactions of interest.
Generally speaking, they study two types of reactions: those that convert
water and CO2 into fuels and chemicals utilizing renewable energy (e.g.
solar or wind), and those that convert those fuels back into usable energy
in the form of electricity.
*This talk is for Harvard faculty and students only. Lunch will be provided.
