Speaker:
Each year MIT ERL invites representatives of our Founding Member companies to the MIT campus to hear about our latest research. Our agenda for this year will be slightly different than in years past, with a full day of talks by students and postdocs for representatives of our Founding Member companies, followed by a half-day of talks by our principal investigators open to all in academia and industry. After two years of online-only meetings, we are thrilled to once again offer a Charles River dinner cruise. If you are interested in joining us and have not yet received an invitation, please contact erl-info@mit.edu.
Our talks will also inlude two special plenary sessions:
5/25: Prof. Yunyue Elita Li, Associate Professor at Purdue and Research Affiliate at MIT: "Carbon sequestration in the subsurface: the atlas and the monitoring"
5/26: Dr. Dirk Smit, Vice President at Shell and ERL Fellow at MIT: Perspectives on CCS beyond Scope 1 and 2
