2024 TEAM PV Meeting Daniel Morton Mon, 11/11/2024 - 17:02

In November of 2024 RASEI hosted the 2024 TEAM PV Consortium meeting. This event brought together researchers from �� Boulder, NREL, Humboldt University and Hemholtz-Zentrum Berlin.

The goals of this workshop was to develop nascent collaborative connections, discuss the best practices for collecting, sharing, and analyzing data around the parametrization of perovskites.

RASEI Fellows Steve Barlow, Joe Berry, Seth Marder, Mike McGehee, Laura Schelhas, and Mike Toney participated in the event that included many students and researchers both from Colorado and Germany.

On October 22, 2024, RASEI partnered with Colorado WRISE to host a panel discussion exploring careers in the renewable energy sectors.

The Colorado Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy, or Colorado WRISE, is a local chapter of the nationwide organization that seeks to change our energy future through the collective power of community. The panel consisted of seven leaders from across a range of renewable sectors, from national lab, through utilities and non-profits, to power systems.

The panelists introduced themselves with a short biography and answered questions on everything from how they made their way into careers in the renewable sector, to the future of careers in this growing space.

Thank you to all the panelists and organizers!

POSE Fall 2024 Kickoff Workshop

POSE Fall 2024 Kickoff Workshop Daniel Morton Mon, 10/07/2024 - 16:43

Daniel Morton

In early October of 2024, RASEI hosted the kickoff workshop for POSE, a new community being brought together to address some of the most critical challenges we face to do with plastics and polymers.

Polymer Solutions for the Environment, or POSE, seeks to establish a Center that will bring together expertise around the development of a circular polymer economy.

Plastics and polymers are critical materials in the modern age, forming the building blocks of everything from electronics to packaging, but this versatility comes with a cost, namely the waste and infiltration of the environment by microplastics.

This workshop brought together thought leaders in the polymer sector, from a cross section of academic, national lab and industrial organizations. The goal was to explore how best the POSE community can build a program that complements existing efforts in the field to drive the science and policy forward.

Three areas of focus were discussed, including the development of a circular polymer economy, the development of polymers that are needed for a just clean energy transition, and the integration of the science and technology research with policy, economics and social sciences.

It was a great meeting with more than 60 participants who came together to discuss ideas, present their research and approaches, and help shape the goals and directions of this nascent community.

Polymer Solutions for the Environment Fall 2024 Workshop

Monday October 7, 2024 | 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM

�� Boulder, East Campus, SEEC Building C120

Join us at this kick-off workshop for the Polymer Solutions for the Environment initiative. This will be held at �� Boulder, on the East Campus in the SEEC Building, Room C120 on Monday October 7, 2024. This one-day workshop brings together key collaborators and stakeholders from across the region, with a focus on discussing and developing a roadmap for POSE. Talks will have a spotlight on how POSE can join and amplify the existing regional community of researchers in tackling Colorado's most pressing sustainability challenges and exploring the role of polymer science in addressing these issues. We plan to define the goals, milestones, and target research areas for POSE.

2024 DTU PhD Summer School in Remote Sensing Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 06/28/2024 - 00:00

In June 2024 RASEI hosted the DTU (Danish Technical University) for their Wind and Energy Systems PhD Summer School in Remote Sensing. RASEI Fellow Julie Lundquist was one of the key organizers.

This five-day summer school focused on advances in remote sensing techniques useful in wind energy. This summer school has been held every year for the past 20 years, with a few occasions outside of Denmark (Once in 2012 which was also hosted by RASEI at �� Boulder).

The school brought fifteen students from the US and Europe to Boulder, along with a dozen speakers. Speakers came together from DTU, NOAA, �� Boulder, NREL, PNNL, Texas Tech University and the University of Texas Dallas. The aim of this event was to expose the participants to the latest uses and applications in measuring the dynamics and thermodynamics of the atmosphere, and how these can be employed in wind energy applications. This includes a series of talks, poster presentation sessions, lab tours, including an outdoor weather lab, and ample opportunities for networking and team building.

This is only the second time that this school has been held in the United States, and the second time at �� Boulder.
