List of speakers

Regine von Klitzing, Technische Universität Darmstadt

Prof. von Klitzing is a Full Professor for Physics  at the Technical University Darmstadt. A particular focus of her work is on interactions in thin liquid films and at the air/water interfaces, and on the investigation of polyelectrolyte multilayers and temperature and pH sensitive hydrogels and their use as “smart” switches and sensors.

Lise Arleth, Niehls Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen

Prof. Arleth is a Professor and Head of the The Structural Biophysics Group at the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science, Copenhagen University, Denmark. Her main research topics include biophysics and physical chemistry with the main focus on structural investigations of macromolecules and their aggregates in solution.

Paul Shearing, University College London

Dr. Shearing is a reader in Chemical Engineering and Materials at University College London. His research interests are in electrochemical engineering - the study and design of processes in devices including fuel cells, batteries and electrochemical reactors. Projects include understanding and devlopment of Li batteries, development of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), Electro-reduction of spent nuclear fuels using molten salt reactions, and monitoring corrosion in PEM fuel cells.

John R. Bargar, SLAC lead PI, Stanford

Dr. John Bargar is a Lead Scientist, Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry Division, at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. He has experience in low-temperature geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and synchrotron-based x-ray spectroscopy, spectromicroscopy, and scattering techniques, laboratory and field systems. His research interests include biogeochemistry of redox active metals and light elements, structure and reactivity of biogenic nanominerals, and mineral-water interface geochemistry.
