The Stanford School of Engineering and School of Humanities and Sciences, and Stanford Alumni Association have partnered to bring you a unique series of moderated conversations exploring the intersection of humanistic and engineering perspectives.
The first installment of Intersections will be a conversation with Engineering professor John O. Dabiri and H&S professor Ian Morris. Morris' research follows the history of energy use and how human values evolve as our energy needs change over time. Dabiri is working on energy options for the future, particularly wind, and will look at current energy usage, the science and technology of renewable energy and the future of energy and the environment.
