Young Scientists 2019
Summary
The World Economic Forum's 2019 Young Scientists Community consists of early-career researchers across various disciplines. The group includes scientists working on climate change impacts on biodiversity, sustainable space use, renewable energy systems, and the development of efficient solar cells.
Key insights
- The Young Scientists Community is composed of scientists under the age of 40 who are selected for their scientific contributions and their commitment to promoting a future that is more sustainable, inclusive, equitable, and healthier.
- Several members of the 2019 cohort focus on environmental and energy sustainability, including Adriana De Palma, who uses big data to study how climate change and land management affect biodiversity, and Nripan Mathews, who is developing affordable, printable solar cells.
- The community includes research into sustainable technology and resource management, such as Benjamin C.K. Tee's work on degradable artificial skin sensors to reduce electronic waste and Camilla Colombo's research on spacecraft manoeuvring to mitigate space debris.
- Loh Huanqian is researching the use of ultracold molecules as quantum building blocks to develop renewable energy systems and next-generation electronics.
