About Orcas
Welcome to the 2022 Orcas conference! We are excited to be returning to an in-person format this year at the amazing Friday Harbor Labs. Our organizing team is working hard to bring together a compelling conference schedule with leaders in Clean Energy research and technology as well as plenty of opportunities to interact with them, and amongst ourselves during seminars, workshops, and career panels.
Bringing our community together to push the scientific boundaries in Clean Energy is now more important than ever, and the opportunities to network in a meaningful way during this two day event – priceless.
On behalf of the organizing team for this year’s Orcas conference:
Baosen Zhang, Dianne Xiao, Danica Hendrickson, Corin Shelley-Reuss, and Madison Weaver
