We are pleased to announce the winners of the Energies Travel Awards for 2020.
Travel awards were granted to Mr. Felix Utama Kosasih, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge; and to Dr. Alberto Sánchez González, Assistant Professor at the Department of Thermal and Fluid Engineering, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
Mr. Kosasih’s research focuses on using analytical electron microscopy and machine-learning-based data analysis techniques to study the properties, stability, and upscaling of perovskite solar cells and modules. Dr. González’s research focuses on concentrating solar power systems. Each awardee will receive 800 Swiss Francs to attend an international conference in 2020.
Mr. Felix Utama Kosasih will present his work entitled “Sodium Diffusion at P1 Scribe Lines in Perovskite Solar Modules” at the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) Fall Meeting 2020, which will be held on 14 September, 2020 in Warsaw, Poland.
Dr. Alberto Sánchez González will present his work entitled “FluxSPT: Tool for Heliostat Field Aiming and Flux Mapping in Solar Power Tower Plants” at the 26th SolarPACES Conference, which will be held on 29 September, 2020 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
We would like to thank all the applicants in various fields of study for their applications and all the Award Committee members for their evaluation of the abundant excellent applications.
