MAKING FUELS FROM SUNLIGHT AND WATER:
Lecture by Dr. Sossina Haile
Thursday, February 16, 7:30 pm at Pasadena Museum of History
470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena 91103
In celebration of Black History Month, PMH presents a lecture about history-in-the-making by Dr. Sossina Haile, the Carl F. Braun Professor of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Caltech. Sunlight has the potential to meet the world’s needs for sustainable energy, and Dr Haile is exploring the use of reactive metal oxides and the sun’s heat to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into fuels. Dr. Haile’s thermochemical technology has delivered record-shattering fuel-production rates and unprecedented stability; it has “really set a benchmark for the solar-fuel community,” she says and will play a major role in a sustainable energy future for the world.
Doors open at 6:30 pm for a wine and cheese reception with Dr. Haile; guests may also view the Museum’s current exhibitions in the adjacent galleries. For additional information, please visit www.pasadenahistory.org.
Tickets: Museum Members $10; Non-Members $15; Students (with i.d.) $5. Reservations: 626-577-1660, ext. 10.
