Leading Australian academic researcher Dr Matthew Hill, from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) will discuss how a class of sponge-like materials known as Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) can be used for a range of applications in gas storage and separation. Followed by a conversation with Australian comedian and TV presenter Adam Hills.
MOF s are remarkable materials which can be exploited for carbon capture, reducing emissions from power generation and improving the efficiency of a host of industrial processes with implications in the production of energy, minerals, food, and medicine.
The lecture will be hosted by comedian Adam Hills
The lecture will be followed by a public Q&A session which will be moderated by popular comedian Adam Hills from Channel 4’s The Last Leg. A drinks reception will take place immediately after the event in the concourse outside the lecture theatre.
The lecture will be held in Lecture Theatre 1 of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. It is the ACEX building, which is 14 on the campus map. The most direct way on to campus to access this location is via the main entrance on Exhibition Road (pink/blue shaded box on the same map).
