Disruptive Technologies for Resilient and Sustainable Cities
Disruptive technologies have made access to data easier, cheaper, and faster than ever before. This has enabled policymakers and city leaders to better plan and deliver services, enhance municipal revenues, and strengthen their city resilience.

Soft Materials Innovation for Health and Sustainability
Polymers and water are the major components that constitute most living species on the earth, ranging from animals, plants, and fungi to bacteria. Polymers are also pervasive and indispensable in almost every aspect of our daily life, ranging from food, clothing, housing, and healthcare to transportation, communication, and entertainment. Furthermore, over 6% of global electricity generated from coal is used to make plastics, and microplastics are already ubiquitous in global biosphere.

Three Grand Challenges for Energy Science and Sustainability
Addressing the very sustainability of the earth system, global climate, and our energy use has now become a leading area of scientific research. The sciences of light-matter interactions and electrochemistry are yielding advances that are opening paths for conceptually new sustainable energy technologies that have not previously been achievable. I will discuss three such “grand challenge” examples.
