The Cleantech Show #030: Cleantech at the Nanoscale - Interview with Dr. Peter Binks, CEO, NanoVic
The Cleantech Show #30 (MP3 - 12MB - 34min)
Interview with Dr. Peter Binks, CEO, NanoVic
The cleantech sector contains solutions incorporating elements of novel integration, novel technologies and novel business models
In the novel technology area, nanotechnology solutions are becoming significant contributors to solving energy, water, waste and climate problems. On todays show we explore nanotechnology and cleantech, with Dr Peter Binks CEO Nanotechnology Victoria Ltd an expert in the field to understand where nano cleantech science is progressing.
On the show we explore the historical evolution of the nanotech research space, and how it has progressed from the realm based around silicon fabrication to a world of biomimicry and natural systems replication. We discuss the foundation of Nanotechnology, that being in a realm where the benefits of both classical and quantum physics can be exploited. We explore the role of nanotech in the energy and water industries, and more broadly how it can act as a foundation technology in other cleantech sectors.
If you want to understand how nanotechnology connects with the cleantech space, and where the future is going, make sure you tune in.
Nanovic also has a pretty expansive website you can browse as well, so make sure you check it out.
Dr Peter Binks has been Chief Executive Officer of Nanotechnology Victoria Limited since May 2003. From the original concept, he has steered the implementation of an ambitious business plan and built a highly capable organization delivering valuable nanotechnology solutions to Victorian industries.
Peter was the 1983 Rhodes Scholar for Tasmania, and has a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Oxford University. Prior to joining Nanotechnology Victoria, Peter worked as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company, with BHP as a strategic planner and as General Manager at BHP’s Research Laboratory in Melbourne, and with Telstra Mobile as General Manager Strategy and Business Development.
Enjoy the show.
