Electrochemical CO2 conversion into useful chemicals holds great promise to mitigate climate change. This electrochemical process requires the catalyst to be in contact with water, but the water at the same time hinders rapid transport of CO2 to the catalyst surface, due to the low CO2 solubility and diffusivity in water. So-called gas diffusion electrodes largely overcome this issue by supplying CO2 gas directly to the vicinity of the catalyst particles through a dedicated gas transport medium. However, the pores in this medium tend to flood with water, once again hindering gas transport. Designing gas diffusion electrodes and the operating conditions of the conversion process in such a way that avoids flooding, requires detailed insight into the distribution of liquid and gas components within the porous structure, and how this distribution affects fluid transport in the pores. Such local insight within a porous electrode is experimentally inaccessible, whereas it can be obtained through simulations. The focus of this PhD project lies on modeling the distribution of liquid and gas components in a porous and chemically heterogeneous structure. You will perform multiphase lattice Boltzmann simulations, supported with experiments and using input from molecular dynamics simulations performed by another PhD candidate as part of the same project. This four-year PhD vacancy is part of a multi-PhD NWO Vidi project that addresses the flooding problem in gas diffusion electrodes for electrochemical conversion. The project will be carried out in the research group of Dr. Remco Hartkamp at the Process & Energy Department of TU Delft. Are you interested in this vacancy?

PhD student to help open more ‘weather windows’ for West of Orkney #windfarm The West of Orkney #windfarm has brought in a new PhD student to help improve access to the project site with better weather forecasts. Hamish Drain, 24, from Edinburgh will investigate use of satellite data and potentially #AI and #machinelearning to develop optimised local forecasts for the site using large domain data. His work aims to enable work to take place on more days of the year by extending the “weather windows” available when construction begins later this decade. The results will be specific to the West of Orkney wind farm, which lie 20 miles (30km) off the coast in waters up to 200ft (60m) deep; however, the methodology will be applicable to the #offshore #wind sector as whole. Drain will be based at the Orkney #Renewable Innovation Campus (ORIC) in Stromness as part of his three-and-a-half-year PhD programme. The project is being funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Training Partnership and is being sponsored by the project developers. West of Orkney wind farm project director Stuart McAuley said: “Our project is a pioneering wind farm which will include some of the deepest fixed bottom foundations ever installed, in one of the windiest sites in Europe. “Any measures which can improve our understanding and forecasting of wave conditions and weather on site could potentially extend the ‘weather windows’ for installation and lead to the project being delivered faster, cheaper and at lower risk. “This information will also be vital when the project becomes operational and local teams will require access to maintain the farm. Weather windows The 2GW West of Orkney wind farm is being developed in collaboration between Corio Generation, TotalEnergies and RIDG. Construction on the project is expected to begin in 2027, with first power expected in 2029 and full #commissioning in 2030. The West of Orkney wind farm was the first of the 20 ScotWind projects to lodge its #offshore consent applications with the Scottish Government last year. In addition, the project recently provided the FutureSkills apprenticeship programme in Caithness with £50,000 to support workforce development in Caithness, Sutherland and Orkney. The PhD will be supervised by Dr David Woolf, who said: “The West of Orkney wind farm is a challenging project, and our ambition is to find ways to improve accessibility – so the right people and the right vessels can access the site on as many operational days as possible. “Alongside his climate work, Hamish’s studies may also look at technological ideas which can enable access in poorer conditions and local ways of working which can maximise installation capability and readiness when the conditions allow. “Our discoveries here will augment our understanding of the challenges the industry faces and will be useful to other offshore wind projects in Scotland and beyond.”

If private industry does not lead, no sustainable improvements will occur.

⚛️ Today’s #PhysicistFriday is Lisa Cirrincione, PhD, CEM, Agency Chief Decarbonization Officer for the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY). Before receiving her bachelors in physics from Università degli Studi di Palermo, masters degrees from The Graduate Center, City University of New York and Hunter College, and Ph.D. in physics from The Graduate Center, City University of New York, Lisa was a musician in one of the largest jazz orchestra in Sicily, playing primo alto saxophone. After her specialization in batteries during graduate school and stints at Bloomberg NEF and Fordham University, Dr. Cirrincione moved to the NYC Department of Sanitation. She has held a number of roles there, starting as a research scientist in the Bureau of Building Maintenance before moving into roles helping the department achieve energy emission reduction goals. Lisa's #stemcareer blends experiences in both science and art and at both academic and government institutions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I speak with students and early-career STEM professionals, a common question I hear is "What can I do with a physics degree?" This ⇧ series of posts is intended to help answer that question - physicists are in every industry and pursue a wide range of careers. AIP data shows that the vast majority of physics degree holders end up in careers outside of physics research or teaching.

Investing and inclusion both are key to developing our future stem leaders.
