Prof. Ron Milo earned a BSc in Physics and Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a PhD in Biological Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Ron and his lab members bring the tools of systems biology to bear on the challenges of sustainability. His research aims to understand the cellular highways of energy and carbon transformations known as central carbon metabolism in quantitative terms. His research team employs a combination of computational and experimental synthetic biology tools with a focus on carbon fixation. He aims to understand the fundamentals of its design principles with the goal of improving the ability of humanity to produce food and fuel more efficiently.  In 2018, the Weizmann Institute was ranked ninth in the world in terms of research quality according to the prestigious CWTS Leiden Ranking.  This is the second time in the last five years that it has been ranked in the top 10 research institutes in the world.

Assaad Razzouk talks about renewable energy opportunities in Asia. The opportunities and challenges are very different from country to country in this region.Assaad heads two companies which are based in Singapore, Reneum and Sindicatum Renewable Energy.Sindicatum is a developer, owner and operator of clean energy projects in key markets that are perennially short of electricity, particularly in non-urbanized areas.Reneum is striving to incentivize green growth and bring clean energy to markets everywhere by providing renewable energy developers with reliable revenue streams.

This is the third part of a conversation with Robert Llewellyn, well known actor, comedian and electric car and sustainable tech advocate. Here he talks about diesel, electric planes, transformative battery technologies, offices powered by electric cars and progressive sustainable cities.

Robert Llewellyn not only is a well known actor (Kryten in the TV serties Red Dwarf), comedian and writer but more importantly also an electric car and sustainable tech advocate. Here is part 2 of an interview with him talking his experiences with renewable energy and electric vehicles around the world.

Listen to the very entertaining and informative Robert Llewellyn talk about Red Dwarf, Fully Charged and Scrapheap Challenge. Over three episodes he colurfully paints the picture of electric transport and renewable energy around the world.

Dr Alina Dini has worked with amazing startups around the world including Tesla and is described as a thoughtful communicator, a strategic consultant, and a skilled collaborator.  As well as being captivated by renewable energy innovation and how it can build long term financial and climate resilience she is renowned for leading visionary discussions about the future.

According to the Climate Council project tracker, in 2019 renewable energy investment in Australia was over $19b with Victorian projects contributing to more than a quarter of that sum.
