IGTRH Connects Students with Industry at Clean-Tech Expo 2026

Showcasing clean-energy research, strengthening industry engagement, and supporting the next generation of green-technology talent.

The AUT–CNBM Intelligent Green Technology Research Hub was pleased to participate in the Clean-Tech Expo 2026, hosted at Auckland University of Technology.

The event provided a meaningful platform for IGTRH students and researchers to connect with industry partners, government representatives, and the wider clean-tech community. It was also an opportunity to share the Hub's ongoing work in Vehicle-to-Grid technology, smart charging, sustainable energy systems, and practical clean-energy innovation.

At IGTRH, we are committed to creating a bridge between academic learning and real industry experience. Through opportunities like this, students can engage with real products and technologies, build confidence, and better understand how research can contribute to practical industry impact.

IGTRH looks forward to continuing collaboration with industry, government, and research partners to support sustainable energy, smart charging, and green technology innovation.

Dr Ramon Zamora Visits University of Waikato for Research Exchange on Supercapacitor Applications

Dr Ramon Zamora recently visited the University of Waikato to explore advancements in supercapacitor-assisted (SCA) technologies for power systems and renewable energy.

During the visit, he met with Professor Nihal Kularatna, a leading expert in supercapacitor applications, and engaged in technical discussions on SCA system development and implementation. He also interacted with PhD researcher Kalum Galmangoda and observed several laboratory prototypes demonstrating practical SCA applications.

The visit provided valuable insights for future research collaboration and curriculum development, particularly for Semester 1, 2026, teaching in power electronics and renewable energy systems.
