Solar Centre Research Day

You are cordially invited to join the 3rd edition of the UT Solar Centre Research Day 

The UT Solar Centre brings together scientists from all faculties with a research interest in solar energy related topics. The Research Day is to inform each other and the broader UT community of ongoing projects with the goal to identify mutual interest and collaboration opportunities. In this Research Day’s edition, we will showcase the diverse solar energy research interests with talks from scientists belonging to EEMCS, ET, BMS, and S&T faculties and external speakers. Topics will range from fundamental computational and experimental materials science to system level research and solar forecasting, as well as solar energy in humanitarian engineering.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the UT Solar Centre Research Day and appreciate if you forward this invite to interested colleagues.
