Workshop on New Frontiers of Thermal Transport; Orlando, FL; March 2020

该奖项是为了支持将于2020年3月9日至10日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的热运输新前沿研讨会。热传输过程在许多传统和新兴工程应用中都是至关重要的，从能源、电子和航空航天到制造、食品和医疗保健。然而，科学界缺乏提供创新的热解决方案，以改进现有技术或应对新出现的挑战。需要加强产业界和学术界之间的沟通，以便研究人员能够更好地瞄准技术瓶颈。这次为期两天的研讨会将汇集院士、行业专家、国家实验室的研究人员和资助机构的项目经理，集思广益，为整个社区制定共同的愿景和未来机会。六个专题小组将涵盖需要解决的新挑战，以促进未来的技术进步。随后，与会者将举行分组会议，探讨解决这些障碍的未来方向。然后将介绍这些讨论的结果，并散发一份报告，以总结主要结论并建议未来的研究机会。这一研讨会将促进学术研究的社会影响，并为处于职业生涯早期或在工程学中代表性不足的参与者提供职业发展机会。这次为期两天的研讨会将汇集来自不同学科的专家，以确定热运输研究的关键挑战、进展和新方向。会议将包括能源、先进制造、热管理、航空航天、人工智能、健康与可持续发展等六个专题小组。目标是确定关键的研究、开发和设计需求，并为未来的工作提供指导方针。这次研讨会的成果将侧重于制定路线图，确定对未来一代热传输工艺技术的需求，以及档案审查文章和专门网站中的文件。该讲习班预计将(I)促进学术研究的社会影响，(Ii)加强活跃在各学科的大学-行业研究人员的科学社区，以及(Iii)促进职业生涯早期参与者的专业发展机会。将特别注意在特邀发言者和与会者中纳入任职人数不足的少数群体和妇女。最终目标是开发解决方案，以应对一系列关键行业当前和未来的热运输挑战。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。

This award is to support the Workshop on New Frontiers of Thermal Transport to be held on March 9-10, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. Thermal transport processes are critical in many traditional and emerging engineering applications, ranging from energy, electronics and aerospace to manufacturing, food and health care. However, the scientific community is lacking in providing innovative thermal solutions in order to improve existing technologies or to address emerging challenges. Communications between industry and academia need to be strengthened so that the researchers can better target technology bottlenecks. This two-day workshop will bring together academicians, industry experts, researchers from national labs, and program managers from funding agencies to brainstorm and develop a shared vision and future opportunities for the community at large. Six focused panels will cover emerging challenges that will need to be resolved to enable future technological advancements. Subsequently, participants will convene in breakout sessions to explore future directions to address these roadblocks. Outcomes from these discussions will then be presented and a report will be disseminated to summarize major findings and recommend future research opportunities. This workshop will promote the societal impacts of academic research and advance the professional development opportunities for participants that are early in their career or are under-represented in engineering. This two-day workshop will bring together experts from various disciplines to identify critical challenges, advancements, and new directions in thermal transport research. Six panels on energy, advanced manufacturing, thermal management, aerospace, artificial intelligence, and health and sustainability will be included. The goal is to identify key research, development, and design needs and provide a guideline for future endeavors. The outcomes of this workshop will focus on the development of a roadmap that will define the needs for future generation of thermal transport process technologies, as well as documentations in archival review articles and a dedicated website. This workshop is expected to (i) promote the societal impacts of academic research, (ii) reinforce a scientific community of university-industry researchers who are active across disciplines and (iii) advance the professional development opportunities for early-career participants. Special attention will be paid to the inclusion of under-represented minorities and women both in invited speakers and in participants. The ultimate goal is the eventual development of solutions to address current and future thermal transport challenges in a range of critical industries.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.
