Inks Meet Electronics: Printing Devices for a Sustainable Future
Wednesday 13 May 18:00 until 19:00
University of Sussex Campus : Fulton Building, Fulton A, University of Sussex
Speaker: Dr Sean Ogilvie
Part of the series: Sussex Universe Public Lecture Series 25-26
Join Dr Sean Ogilvie to hear how new nanoscale materials are enabling scalable, flexible electronics and energy devices are being integrated with everyday objects, including our bodies, to generate power, monitor health, and adapt sustainably.
“Imagine if ‘smart’ materials were compatible with our bodies, homes and environments. Using scalable printing techniques, new materials and devices can generate electricity from waste heat, measure human (or battery) health, or control heat coming into and out of your home.”
Dr Ogilvie works in Materials Physics, exploring nanomaterial networks and interfaces and their applications in electronics and energy devices.
“By developing materials which are functional and flexible, it will be possible to manage our health and energy usage much more sustainably.”
