UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Energy and Environmental Sustainability Laboratories (EESL) announced an expanded webinar series starting on Wednesday, Feb. 3. The webinar series titled, "Energy and Environmental Sustainability," will occur on the first Wednesday of every month from noon to 1 p.m. (EST). The webinars are free and open to the public. However, registration is required.
The first webinar is titled “EESL Labs Capabilities and Applications Overview.” It will be presented by three Penn State scientists, Sara Lincoln, Organics Laboratory; Brendan Culleton, Radiocarbon Laboratory; and Tim Stecko, Center for Quantitative Imaging.
Each webinar is scheduled for 50 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion. All webinars will be recorded and available for future viewing. Visit the EESL webinar page to review titles and presenters as topics are confirmed.
“The EESL webinar series will offer researchers and the scientific community educational opportunities that align with EESL’s mission,” said Odette Mina, EESL’s managing director, “which is to advance interdisciplinary scholarship by providing researchers access to cutting-edge instrumentation and subject matter expertise that fuels innovation in energy and environmental sciences.”
The purpose of the webinar series is to discuss diverse energy and environmental topics and the ways Penn State can support analytical needs through EESL and other facilities. Researchers and experts from Penn State as well as other organizations are scheduled to participate in the webinars.
The Organics Laboratory, Radiocarbon Laboratory and the Center for Quantitative Imaging are part of EESL, which are shared multi-user instrumentation facilities at Penn State that tie together world-class instrumentation and expertise in a broad array of analytical techniques covering materials in all phases.
EESL is a part of the Institutes of Energy and the Environment, which works to build teams of experts from different disciplines to see how new ways of thinking can solve some of the world’s most difficult energy and environmental challenges.
