Inaugural Lecture by Professor Franck Natali
This is Professor Natali’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Physics at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.
Materials science is the ultimate act of building from scratch. By learning how to precisely stack entirely new materials, sometimes atom by atom, we can engineer exotic, unexpected, and even controversial properties tailored for specific real-world applications.
In his inaugural lecture, Professor Franck Natali will explore the chaotic art of translating nanoscale—the ultra-small—physics and chemistry into tangible climate tech solutions. He will reveal how these atomic footprints are discovered, designed, and deployed to tackle the global energy transition.
