SUMMARY:128th Distinguished Research Lecture: Harnessing Sunlight & Mentor
 ing Startup Founders to Address Climate Change (Michael McGehee)
LOCATION:Center for Academic Success and Engagement (CASE) Chancellor's Ha
 ll and Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:Professor Michael McGehee (Chemical and Biological Engineering
 \, RASEI) built his research group with a mission to pattern materials at
  the smallest length scales to address one of humanity’s biggest problems
 : global climate change. In this talk\, he highlights two key inventions 
 and the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that has been foundatio
 nal to his approach.  \n\nThe group’s early work on printable solar cells
  ultimately helped lead to perovskite tandem solar cells\, which are 30 p
 ercent more efficient than conventional silicon solar cells and are now b
 eing developed by more than a dozen businesses\, including spinouts Swift
  Solar and Tandem PV. McGehee and his students also invented windows with
  adjustable tinting that can reduce heating\, cooling and lighting costs 
 by 20 percent\, leading to the founding of Tynt Technologies.\n\nStudents
  from McGehee’s lab have founded 22 companies. He will share lessons from
  these founders and how they inform his teaching in Boulder Climate Ventu
 res\, a course focused on climate entrepreneurship. The lecture will conc
 lude with thoughts on the controversial subject of cooling the planet wit
 h optical geoengineering.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/efa4aebb-cb22-46
