Ameera al-Aji showcases her art installation at the QSRTC Tech Talk.
The Qatar Shell Research & Technology Centre (QSRTC) recently held the latest event in the Tech Talk series ‘Understanding and Using Visible and Invisible Light for Energy Production’.
The event was held in line with Unesco’s International Year of Light 2015 at QSRTC, the anchor tenant at the Qatar Science and Technology Park.
Dirk Smit, vice-president of exploration technology R&D and Shell chief scientist for geophysics, led a presentation on how applications of light and light technologies – both visible and invisible – have enabled significant achievements in energy production.
The presentation outlined how light is used in fibre optic technology to support the measurement of wells during the production process, and how these technologies will contribute to global 21st century sustainability, reinforcing its significance to Qatar and the region.
Attendees were also treated to an art installation by local Qatari artist Ameera al-Aji, who showcased how she utilises light as a source of inspiration for her work.
Rob Sherwin, general manager, corporate affairs, and deputy country chairman, Qatar Shell, said: “We are extremely proud to be hosting this event as part of the Unesco International Year of Light 2015 at our R&D hub, QSRTC, to showcase the importance of light technologies in the energy industry.
“At QSRTC, we will continue to co-operate with academia, government, non-profit organisations and private sector partners to provide research and innovative solutions that will help mitigate and resolve energy challenges faced by Qatar, in turn delivering sustainable impact in support of Qatar National Vision 2030.”
By organising the Tech Talk event, QSRTC continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of R&D in Qatar, through ground-breaking research and thought-leadership, according to a statement.
