Zusammenfassung:The seven tutorials, delivered by an international cohort of professors, covered the topics of (1) conducting polymers (Jiaxing Huang, Northwestern University); (2) batteries (Adrian Hightower,Metropolitan Water District of Southern California); (3) photovoltaics (David Cahen, Weizmann Institute); (4) flow cells and fuel cells (S.R. Narayan, University of Southern California); (5) nanomaterials (Sara Skrabalak, Indiana University Bloomington); (6) electrolysis (Thomas Mallouk, The Pennsylvania State University); and (7) thermoelectrics (G. Jeffrey Snyder, Northwestern University). Joshua Santana, a chemistry PhD candidate at Indiana University Bloomington, who served as the teaching assistant for the nanoparticle laboratory, noted that “many East African participants in the JUAMI program have not had the same access to laboratory equipment throughout their educational career.” [...]each experiment was developed to be able to bring as little equipment as possible from abroad and use resources available in Africa. On the education front, one project aims to build a virtual computing facility to enable access to state-of-the-art software along with high computing speed by hosting the service on a cloud provider.
