2013年5月13日上午10：00~12：00，美国普林斯顿大学、普林斯顿环境研究院高级研究科学家Robert H. Williams教授将在我校迎西校区逸夫楼七层报告厅作题为《Coal/Biomass Coprocessing Strategy to Enable a Thriving Coal Industry in a Carbon-Constrained World》的学术报告，欢迎广大师生届时参加。

Robert H. Williams is a Senior Research Scientist at the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI),PrincetonUniversity, where he heads the Energy Systems Analysis Group (ESAG). UnderPEI’s BP-supported Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI), he leads the Carbon Capture Group.

Trained as a physicist (BS, physics, Yale, 1962; PhD, theoretical plasma physics, UC Berkeley, 1967), Williams joined the Physics Department,U.ofMichigan,Ann Arbor, in 1970, where he shifted his research from basic physics to energy and environmental analysis. In 1972 he became Chief Scientist with the Ford Foundation's Energy Policy Project, where he was responsible for environmental and energy efficiency research. He joinedPrincetonUniversity’s Center for Energy and Environmental Studies in the fall of 1975 andPEIin 2001.

His energy systems research has included energy end-use efficiency, industrial cogeneration, renewable energy (especially biomass, wind, photovoltaics), nuclear energy (especially proliferation issues), synthetic fuels and systems that coproduce electricity and synthetic fuels in a carbon-constrained world, CO2 capture and storage, fossil-renewable energy synergisms (especially coal/biomass with CO2 capture and storage and wind/natural gas), energy in developing countries (especially energy in China), and energy policy (especially energy technological innovation policy).
