Topic of Keynote:
A Interfacial Dynamics and Heat Transfer of Microdroplets on Biphilic Micro/Nanostructured Surfaces
Dr. Thomas Adams
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, USA
HTFF Keynote Speaker
Thom Adams is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, USA. He earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and his MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Having won multiple best paper awards for his work in technical research as well as engineering education, he is one of only a handful of faculty ever to have received both the Institute’s Outstanding Scholar Award and Outstanding Teaching Award. His early work in single-phase and two-phase heat transfer in microchannels represents some of the seminal work in the field. He has since become a leading educator in the field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and has authored a first of its kind textbook on the subject aimed at an audience of undergraduate technical majors regardless of specific discipline. His current research focuses on what he calls the “scholarship of generalisation,” in which physical systems and processes are purposely modelled using the most fundamental concepts and methods available in order to ascertain physical trends and correlations that often go unnoticed when relying solely the techniques of modern specialized research.

Professor Gosselin has been involved in a number of collaborative research projects with the industry on energy efficiency and energy management in buildings and in industrial processes. His research interests include the modeling and optimization of heat transfer and thermodynamics systems. Recently, he worked on geothermal energy, waste heat recovery, primary production of aluminum, smart control of thermal systems, advanced building envelopes, demand-side management, solid-liquid phase change, impact of humans on energy efficiency, thermal storage, and energy issues in the high north. From 2012 to 2019, he held the Chair in educational leadership on sustainable engineering at Université Laval. Louis Gosselin is a registered P. Eng. in the province of Québec.
