We are pleased to announce the third talk in the FORTECH: Industry-Academia Talk Series. The speaker is Prof. Kanwar Nalwa, Associate Professor, Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering, IIT Kanpur. He was earlier associated with Portland Technology Development of Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. Prof. Nalwa believes that industry must participate at the nascent stage of the development itself so that industry and academia can work together in solving stability and scaling-related issues as they arise during the project period. This talk will highlight the strategies that his group is adopting to reach out to the industry and solve practical problems that the industry is seeking solutions for. The exemplary cases will be discussed that highlight the real-world problems in the area of #energystorage and #solarcells and how the his research group is actively engaging with the industry to overcome these challenges.

Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering (Dr. K. S. Nalwa) organizer and Chandrakanta Kesavan Center for Energy Policy and Climate Solutions are co-organizing the UK-India SUNRISE symposium on Transition to NetZero on 10-11 February 2022, to be held on virtual platform.
The symposium will showcase technology development sessions on food, water, energy and Net Zero. Food, water and energy together makes the foundation for socio-economic development and well-being, but also significantly contributetowards global warming and climate change, which raises the concern of environmental and ecological sustainability. Food-Water-Energy-Climate Nexus with transition towards Net Zero will be an effective way to deal with these complicated issues, which would require an interplay of technological interventions, and dedicated efforts of multiple stakeholders including academicians, researchers, industries and decision makers in this direction. SUNRISE symposium will explore the linkages between water and hygiene, energy harvesting, energy systems, food production and food security in the context of decarbonisation and Net zero through global collaboration of leading research teams and industries.
