PIMS Workshop on Mathematical Sciences & Clean Energy at UBC

PIMS Workshop on Mathematical

Sciences and Clean Energy Applications

University of British Columbia
21 -24 May, 2019

To minimize climate impacts and prevent runaway climate change, the energy chain of the global economy must be drastically decarbonized. This exploratory workshop will build a greater dialogue between those in the mathematical sciences and the clean energy sector. The workshop will include: first-hand accounts of mathematical scientists working in clean energy projects, gentle introductions to clean energy systems and mathematical tools, graduate student presentations, and panel discussions on topics such as challenges in clean energy. The goal of the workshop is to inspire interest in further exploration and to nucleate collaborations between mathematical scientists and practitioners in clean energy. Mathematical scientists with no previous experience in clean energy research are welcome.
