Students from Anceha research group demonstrated their ongoing research activities on materials and technologies for hydrogen production through water splitting, perovskite solar cell, super capacitor, luminescent solar concentrator, dye sensitized solar cells for the High School students. After the demonstrations, the minister of Norway also visited the clean energy research lab at HVL to see the ongoing research activity.

 

Recently an article appeared on the forskning.no website. The article highlighted the ongoing research activities carried out by Professor Dhayalan Velauthapillai and his research team at the HVL laboratory in Bergen. It focused on research on new nanomaterials for solar cells, hydrogen, and energy storage.

Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai is listed seventh in the Forskerforum indicator report. His research focuses on nanomaterials for new types of solar cells, hydrogen production and energy storage. As the head of the research group on Advanced Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Health Applications, he highlighted the international collaboration and the support from the faculty as important reasons for the high publication points.

– I have a broad international collaboration and supervise many PhD students who come here to Norway to work on their research projects. All this helped the publishing speed. I have to thank the entire management at the institute, the faculty and the top management who have supported me the whole time. It gives me motivation in my work.

Forskningsdagene i Bergen (Research Days 2022) is an annual collaboration between educational institutions and the city’s research centres to create enthusiasm and understanding of the research for teenagers and school students. The objective of the programs is to help the students understand how the research and its results can be applied in our daily lives. In ‘Forskningsdagene 2022’, Fatemeh Heidari Gourji delivered a talk along with a demonstration on ‘if solar energy can be a solution to the world’s demand for renewable energy or not?”. The event took place on 22 September 2022 in the auditorium at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL).

Tuesday and Wednesday 30-31. In August, the Norwegian and Indian hydrogen industries are going meet in Bergen to discuss joint opportunities within green hydrogen. A delegation consisting of Indian business, authorities and researchers were arrived in Bergen to participate in the International Climate Summit 2022. The conference is a follow-up to last year’s conference which was held in New Delhi in September. The list of speakers includes Norwegian ministers Jan Christian Vestre and Espen Barth Eide, the Indian minister Nitin Gadkari, Hital Meswani from Reliance, and Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who has over 400 million followers worldwide.
