Dr Alfredo Carpinetti
Dr Alfredo Carpineti is an astrophysicist, science communicator, and journalist for IFLScience. He’s writing a book about the mysteries of astronomy with the publishing house Unbound. He holds a PhD in Astrophysics and an MSc in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College, and a bachelor’s degree in physics and astrophysics from Rome’s first university, La Sapienza. His PhD research work focused on the role of galaxy mergers in the evolution of massive galaxies, looking at post-merger galaxies and infrared bright galaxies.
He is also the chair (and founder) of Pride in STEM, an award-nominated charity dedicated to supporting and showcasing LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and maths.

“Power generation and warp drive”
Douglas Johnston
Douglas Johnston is a manufacturing technician at Oxford Instruments in the UK. He has a background in physics with renewable energy science and has carried out academic research on Galian Arsenide solar panels, which are often used on satellites. He has been a Star Trek fan ever since watching Enterprise with his dad as a child, and has fallen in love with the many shows and films since.
In his talk, “Power generation and warp drive”, he will discuss Star Trek’s fictional engines in relation to real life fusion and matter/antimatter physics, as well as taking a look at the Alcubierre drive – a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel.
