I finished off yesterday at the Queens Arms at the pub catching up with Soren Scott who has now been Assistant Professor at @ucph.bsky.social for 15 months! Although we miss him sorely at @interfacial-ec.bsky.social, I am so pleased to see he is going from strength to strength in Copenhagen!
Fascinating to hear fresh perspectives from civil service, industry and academia at panel discussion on the role of batteries in delivering clean power by 2030 with Mary Ryan, Greg Offer, Lee McDonough, Martin Freer and Juliette Sanders.
Jingyu showed Martin Freer, James Gaade and Matthew Howard around the brand new high throughput battery equipment he is commissioning for @digibat.bsky.social as we strive towards a self driving lab!
We had a fascinating day showing the Faraday Institution leadership around Imperial yesterday with @titiricigroup.bsky.social @jingyuf.bsky.social @lonepair.bsky.social and many more.
