2019 Micro and Nanoscale Phase Change Heat Transfer GRC/GRS

2019年戈登研究大会及其相关的戈登研究研讨会以微纳尺度相变热传递为主题，是第三次这样的戈登会议，在意大利卢卡的文艺复兴托斯卡纳Il Ciocco举行。这次会议汇集了微纳尺度相变换热领域的领先专家以及该领域外的专家，他们的工作与整个换热领域非常相关。会议的目标是展示基础研究的最新进展，并突出未来最有前途的研究方向。会议还提供了一个独特的论坛，研究生、博士后助理和其他年轻研究人员可以在这里与该领域的知名成员进行非正式互动。今年，一个单独的戈登研究研讨会首次包括在内，完全由年轻研究人员组织和运营，为年轻研究人员提供展示他们的工作、相互交流和参与指导活动以帮助他们推进事业的机会。与会议相关的整个领域对许多领域至关重要，包括暖通空调、发电和化工工业、电子冷却和过程强化努力、空间探索、外星栖息地的开发、在不适宜居住的地区生产纯净水和气候变化。戈登研究会议还举办了Power Hour，这是一种专门针对女性的指导体验。来自GRS或GRC的所有女性都被邀请参加，分享她们的经验，并与该领域的高级女性导师互动。在这里，他们可以讨论对女性具有独特重要性的问题，帮助培训该领域的下一代女性领导人。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2019 Gordon Research Conference and associated Gordon Research Seminar on the topic of Micro and Nanoscale Phase Change Heat Transfer is the third such Gordon Conference and is held in Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco, Lucca Italy. The conference brings together leading experts in the field of micro and nanoscale phase change heat transfer as well as experts outside the field whose work is of great relevance to the overall heat transfer community. The goal of the conference is to present the latest in fundamental research, and to highlight the most promising future research directions. The meeting also provides a unique forum where graduate students, postdoctoral associates and other young researchers can interact informally with established members of the field. This year, for the first time, a separate Gordon Research Seminar is included, organized and run entirely by young researchers, for young researchers, offering them an opportunity to present their work, interact with one another, and participate in mentoring activities to help them advance their careers.The overall field associated with the conference is of critical importance to a number of areas including the HVAC, power generation, and chemical process industries, electronics cooling and process intensification efforts, space exploration, the development of extraterrestrial habitats, the generation of pure water in inhospitable areas and climate change. This Gordon Research Conference also hosts a Power Hour, a mentoring experience specifically targeted to women. All women from the GRS or GRC are invited to attend, share their experiences, and interact with senior women mentors in the field. Here they can discuss issues of unique importance to women, helping to train the next generation of female leaders in the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
