PA3 INVITES YOU TO “SECOND TUESDAYS”

A PRINCETON PROPELLER EVENT  

AT QUADRANGLE CLUB

FOR ENTREPRENEURS,

NAVIGATORS & THE CURIOUS

Please Join Us for Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres

33 PROSPECT AVENUE – PRINCETON, NJ

6 P, TUESDAY, March 12th, 2019

Speaker:  Andrew Voros, Rutgers ’80

Senior VP, PrevenTive Conservation USA,

“Recent Developments in Photocatalysis for Air Pollution Abatement

And Self-Cleaning Exteriors:  Passive, Affordable, Green, Sustainable”

Photocatalysis, the initiation of a reaction by light, has long held promise for commercial applications across numerous environmental systems:  air purification, contaminant remediation, water disinfection, and biofilm inhibition. When harnessed to turn interior & exterior surfaces (windows, lighting fixtures, textiles, building materials, solar panels) into passive reactors capable of self-cleaning --- this technology improves air quality.  After a brief overview of key developments in the field, Andrew will discuss: the latest third-generation applications that employ nano titanium dioxide; methods to quantify their effectiveness; and their positive impacts on human health.

Registration Required via propellers.princetonaaa.org

NEXT PRINCETON PROPELLER:  Tuesday, April 9th (6 P)

Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!  Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons. 

Noah Mandell is a doctoral candidate in Plasma Physics at Princeton University.  Noah's thesis work is focused on turbulence and transport in fusion plasmas. Fusion is the energy that powers the stars, and it is the ultimate energy source of the future - both clean and unlimited. But so far, harnessing it has remained elusive. Turbulence is one of the main issues that makes it difficult to build an efficient fusion reactor. 

Please join us! 

As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion.

Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues),

Noel Foster is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University.  His interests lie in strategic innovation, as well as the intersection of grand strategy and domestic politics, with a focus on hybrid conflicts.  His dissertation focuses on the statecraft that has come to be known as "hybrid warfare", based on paired-case studies in the Baltic countries of Estonia and Latvia.  Noel studies the mechanisms of polarization behind the strategic use of influence operations and disinformation.  Noel received a B.A. and an M.A. from Stanford University in Political Science and Sociology, and an M.A. in E.U. International Relations and Diplomacy from the College of Europe in Bruges. He is a graduate fellow in the Center for International Security Studies at Princeton.
