Emerging Nanotechnologies for Renewable Energy

Waqar Ahmed is a Professor of Nanoscience and Deputy Head of School at the School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Lincoln, UK. His research focuses in the areas of nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine. In particular, the emphasis of his research at present focuses on nanoscience and nanotechnology for renewable energy, energy modelling and management and sustainability.

Matthew Booth is a Lecturer in Experimental Physics at the School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Lincoln, UK. His research focuses on semiconductor nanocrystals.

Dr. Ehsan Nourafkan graduated in Chemical Engineering from the University of Shiraz. He then worked for two years in the industry before joining the University of Leeds in 2015. At Leeds, he has worked as a post-doc researcher on an ERC funded project entitled NanoEOR for three years. Then he moved to the University of Lincoln as a research fellow in 2018 for the next stage of his career. His research interests mainly involve focusing on application of nanotechnology for a wide spectrum of energy sectors, particularly in production, transport and storage of renewable energy. He also has experience of delivering consultancy services for the waste incineration industry, as well as working collaboratively with researchers across the world.
