Welcome to Disorder Engineering for the Green Transition (2021)
Description: Advancements within materials science and engineering are crucial for enabling the green transition towards a sustainable society and to enable Denmark’s target of 70% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions in EU and Denmark by 2050. This is particularly the case for disordered materials, such as inorganic glasses, polymer glasses, cements, amorphous membrane, metal-organic framework glasses, and gels. These materials are critical to our green future, from batteries and solar cells to wind turbine reinforcement, water filtration, gas storage/separation and CO2 capture. For the planned Ph.D. course, we will discuss the underlying chemistry and physics for the materials innovations needed to enable the green applications. We will focus on the relation between materials composition and processing, disordered structure, properties, and functionalities. Several distinguished lecturers will be invited to present fundamental knowledge and their recent progress in translating this knowledge into applications. The students communicate with both students and lecturers, read specified literature and do assignments from lecturers through group work.
Organizer: Professor Morten M. Smedskjær, mos@bio.aau.dk, Professor Yuanzheng Yue, yy@bio.aau.dk, Associate Professor Vittorio Boffa, vb@bio.aau.dk
Lecturers:
ECTS: 3.0
Time: 26-29 October 2021
Place: Department of Chemistry and Bioscience, Aalborg University (AAU), Fredrik Bajers Vej 7H.
Zip code: 9220
City: Aalborg
Number of seats:
Deadline: 05 October 2021
Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
