DESCRIPTION:Prof. Andrej Lenert\, University of Michigan\nBrief abstract\n
 Engineers are usually taught to simplify radiative heat transfer to a colo
 rless\, opaque\, and diffuse process. In this talk\, I will show how color
 \, transparency\, and direction can be used to make large improvements in 
 energy harvesting. My talk will focus on our recent work to enable high-te
 mperature energy storage technologies that are sufficiently low cost to e
 nable a fully renewable grid.\n\nAbout the speaker\nAndrej Lenert directs 
 the Lab for Efficient and Enduring Energy systems at the University of Mic
 higan conducting research at the intersection of nanofabrication\, energy 
 conversion\, and transport of light and heat. He is a recipient of the NSF
  CAREER Award\, the 3M untenured faculty award\, and the UofM Henry Russel
  Award\, among others. He earned a BS in 2008 from the University of Iowa 
 and MS and PhD degrees in 2010 and 2014 from MIT\, where he studied with E
 velyn N. Wang. He trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Mi
 chigan (UofM) with Pramod Reddy and Edgar Meyhofer prior to joining the Ch
 emical Engineering faculty in 2016.
