What it’s about: Purdue’s Center for Intelligent Energy Systems has organized the symposium to bring industry, government, and academic leaders in clean energy, together with students for discussions of scientific, technical, and policy approaches to nuclear power’s role in clean energy. Topics to be discussed include decarbonization, hydrogen production, electrification of transportation, integrated energy storage with renewables, district heating/combined heat and power, desalination, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Schedule of events: The featured speakers opening the symposium’s first day are Karen Plaut, executive vice president of research at Purdue, and Paul Kearns, director of Argonne National Laboratory. Wayne Chen, associate dean of research at Purdue, will open the second day, followed by a plenary lecture by Temitope Taiwo, division director of nuclear science and engineering at Argonne.
