As the world’s population continues to expand, so too does its need for energy. This demand is coupled with new regulations designed to curb climate change. Advances in supercapacitors and high-capacity batteries are leading to distributed, rather than centralized, models of electricity generation. Advancements in battery technology alone are expected to have more than $415 billion in economic impact. Further, new legislation has created tremendous financial incentives for “greener” products. Whereas cold fusion power was once regarded as a distant, fantastical idea, there is strong evidence that it could be a viable source of energy in the next decade.
About the Presenter, Charles Wright: Charles Wright’s research focuses on the stochastic behavior of individual organisms. He has used high-throughput microscopy and large-scale computational analysis to explore the connection between neuronal function and organismal behavior in worms, and is now studying the dynamics of growth and division of bacterial cells under various environmental conditions. He hopes to leverage advances in technology and computation to better understand the regulation of complex, dynamical and often noisy biological processes within the context of the organism as a whole. Charles is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Chicago in the Graduate Program in Biophysical Sciences. He received his BA in Physics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Spanish from Vanderbilt University in 2008.
