TRANSLATE is a €3.4 million EU-funded research project that aims to develop a new nanofluidic platform technology to effectively convert waste heat to electricity. This technology has the potential to improve the energy efficiency of many devices and systems, and provide a radically new zero-emission power source. The TRANSLATE project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 964251, for the action of 'The Recycling of waste heat through the Application of Nanofluidic ChannelS: Advances in the Conversion of Thermal to Electrical energy'. More information can be be found on the TRANSLATE project website: https://translate-energy.eu/

Anjali Ashokan delivered this presentation at UCC School of Chemistry Postgraduate Research Day 2024, in which she gave a detailed presentation about functionalization of membranes and their thermoelectric properties. UCC School of Chemistry Postgraduate Research Day involved a 12 minute presentation and with a Q/A session for 3 minutes. This assessment helps early career researchers to communicate their research with other postgraduates in the School of Chemistry and build their network.
