Proceedings of the 4^th International Conference
on Energy Harvesting, Storage, and Transfer (EHST'20)

Dr. Laurent Pilon
University of California, USA

Laurent Pilon received his B.S. and M.S. in Applied Physics from the Grenoble Institute of Technology, France and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, USA in 2002. He then joined the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he is now Professor. His research group is engaged in a wide range of interdisciplinary research projects at the intersection of interfacial and transport phenomena, material science, and biology for the development of sustainable energy conversion, storage, and efficiency technologies. He has authors more than 160 archival journal publications. He is also the recipient of several awards including the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and the Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He is a Fellow of ASME and a member of the Scientific Council of the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT).
