International Colloquia #24: Opportunities in Nanoengineered Surface Designs

This colloquium focuses on opportunities of nanoengineered surfaces for a range of heat transfer and energy applications. Such surfaces have been explored by modifying surface chemistry and structure to harness a range of behaviors to enhance liquid-vapor phase change, icephobicity, CO2 capture, among many others. Robustness and scalability of the surfaces will also be discussed which will be essential for the eventual deployment in industrial systems.

Panelists: Doris Vollmer, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany
Dimos Poulikakos, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland
Nenad Miljkovic, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Yas Takata, Kyushu University, Japan
Moderator: Dan Preston, Rice University
