    Increasing Efficiency in Solar Energy Systems: Graphene-Based Panels and Batteries
    (2022-11) Balaudo, Tomás; Molo, Nicolás
    Abstract— This literature review discusses the use of graphene as a material to increase the efficiency and performance of batteries and solar panels. These improvements may allow to considerably increase their characteristics and benefits, in order to make a more efficient use of the energy generated and stored in solar panels, improving its obtention and later use. This paper analyzes and explains how this efficiency upgrade can be possible by means of graphene. The improvements analyzed are in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal of ensuring clean energy for all. Resumen— La presente revisión de la literatura aborda el uso del grafeno como material para aumentar la eficiencia y rendimiento de baterías y paneles solares. Estas mejoras pueden permitir aumentar considerablemente sus características y prestaciones, para así aprovechar aún más la energía almacenada y generada por paneles solares, mejorando su obtención y uso. En este trabajo se analiza y se explica cómo esta mejora en la eficiencia puede ser posible por medio del grafeno. Las mejoras analizadas están en línea con el Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas de asegurar el acceso a energías limpias para todos.

    Future Engineering Leaders Scholarship (FELS)
    (2021-11-11) Balaudo, Tomás
    The Future Engineering Leaders Scholarship (FELS) is a joint effort from different countries to offer scholarships to undergraduate engineering students whose native language is other than English. It is an opportunity for students to take part in an immersion English program that aims at developing both the English language and skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, leadership and cultural awareness. The special characteristic about the FELS is that students apply for it in pairs or in groups of three. Since this scholarship is aimed at developing basic engineering skills, students are asked to develop a project based on an engineering topic to be pre-selected. Details about this project are provided below in the section “Project Proposal”. Although most of this form is completed individually, the section about the project has to be developed by all the members of the team together.
