  "The unexpected physics behind a novel carbon capture process"

 

Paul Willson will deliver a 45-minute seminar, introducing the process of carbon capture. He will then examine in more details how understanding some of the challenging physics involved can be used to inform choices in practically realising the concept.

As part of the Physics Student Seminar Series of the University of Chester, Paul Willson will explain, the unexpected physics behind a novel carbon capture process. A Q&A session will follow; questions will be welcomed about career prospects for physicists in carbon capture and the industry. 

This free event is organised by 3rd year student, Ben Atkinson, and supervised by Dr Theodoros Papadopoulos, University of Chester. It is supported by the IOP Merseyside branch, as well as the IOP North Wales and Cheshire Centre, and the faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Chester. Attendance is free for all and will be hosted at 6:30 pm, lecture theatre CBK011, Binks building, University of Chester
