A Condensed Matter Physicist's Journey at the Interfaces of Renewable 
Energy, Law and Medicine

1. The Climate Crisis is the greatest fight of our age. This is a strong 
moral imperative for condensed matter physicists to apply and adapt 
their sophisticated tools to develop Renewable Energy solutions for this 
fight. This talk describes six such opportunities. How strongly 
interacting electrons in perovskites are relevant for increasing solar 
cell efficiencies. How the Metal Insulator transition is relevant for 
solar photo-electron extraction. How quantum glassy dynamics is relevant 
for solar cell degradation. How machine learning is relevant for solar 
cell structural dynamics. How renormalization group theory is relevant 
for automotive electromotors. How charged fluid dynamics is relevant for 
solar powered water desalination.

2. In the second part, I describe my journey exploring the interface of 
law and physics as a patent lawyer. I wrote some of the earliest patents 
on white LEDs, solid state memories, and quantum computers. 3. In the 
third part, I describe how practicing patent law led me to work at 
medical startup companies, where we repeatedly developed pioneering eye 
surgical systems based on Nobelist inventions.


Az előadás hibrid lesz, távrészvételhez fogom küldeni a linket.
Akinek nincs belépője a KFKI Telephelyre és eljönne, kérem írjon
levelet nekem.

Minden érdeklődőt örömmel látunk.

Üdvözlettel,

Ván Péter
