个人简介：
Alvin Orbaek White博士（Orb博士）是斯旺西大学的副教授和前威尔士政府Sêr Cymru II研究员。他从麻省理工学院（美国马萨诸塞州剑桥）机械工程系转到能源安全研究所 （ESRI），并在莱斯大学（美国德克萨斯州休斯顿）获得化学博士学位。在他推进全球能源安全的愿景中，他在他的研究小组斯旺西大学能源未来研究小组中使用了循环经济哲学。他专注于评估塑料以制造高价值的纳米材料。他专门从事碳纳米管、石墨烯和碳纤维的合成和应用。全球能源安全不仅仅是一项技术挑战，因为平衡社会中的长期安全还必须考虑到人的因素。所有人都应该随时获得所需的技术和机会，以尽其所能地成长和繁荣。在个人层面，Alvin致力于在他的课堂上创造一个包容和动态的学习环境（面对面和虚拟），以确保他的学生的成长超越他的教学。他担任斯旺西大学黑人和多数族裔 （BAME） 网络的董事会成员，为大学和学术企业灌输增长;旨在并希望为所有学生和教职员工带来平等的机会，无论其背景如何。
