Speakers
Niall Mac Dowell Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Niall is a Professor in Energy Systems Engineering at Imperial College London. He is a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of both the IChemE and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His research is focused on understanding the transition to a low carbon economy, and has published more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, technical reports, and books in this context. Niall has more than a decade’s experience as a consultant to the public and private sectors. He has worked with a range of private sector energy companies, and recently completed a two-year secondment to the UK Government Department BEIS (now DESNZ) where he acted as an expert policy advisor on CCUS and GGR. Niall is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of TotalEnergies, the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS), and Joule. He was a member of the US National Petroleum Council (NPC) CCUS Roadmap Team, as well as the technical working group of the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP), the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), and is a science advisor to the venture capital fund, Carbon Direct. A multi award winning scientist, Niall was awarded the Qatar Petroleum medal for his research in 2010 and the IChemE’s Nicklin and Junior Moulton medals for his work on low carbon energy in 2015 and 2021, respectively. www.imperial.ac.uk/people/niall
Robert Riggleman University of Pennsylvania, United States
Robert Riggleman is an Associate Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007, which was followed by postdoctoral appointments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2007-2008) and the department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California-Santa Barbara (2009-2010). His research group develops and implements advanced molecular modeling techniques to study soft matter systems like polymers and glassy materials. The group explore dynamics and thermodynamics of these systems across a variety of time and length scales to help explain and predict experimental findings. rrgroup.seas.upenn.edu/members/robert-riggleman/
