Unlocking the Power of Waste Heat: A Conversation with PhD Researcher Anjali Ashokan
PhD researcher Anjali Ashokan shares insights from her work on ionic thermoelectrics using sustainable cellulose membranes. Her research demonstrates a tenfold boost in thermal voltage and a 950-fold increase in conductivity, paving the way for low-power applications like sensors and smart patches. Explore the science behind this innovation and its potential impact on sustainable energy.
Anjali Ashokan from UCC pictured as part of Bioeconomy Ireland Week, PhD researchers from the innovative ‘NxtGenWood‘ Project, funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, came together to engage the public as part of a 'Thesis in Trees' event. Eight researchers, stationed around the National Botanic Gardens, presented their innovative research in three minutes; including making chemicals, heat and even plastics from wood. The event was run in association with BiOrbic Bioeconomy Research Centre and Amber, Centre for Advancing Materials for Impact.
