Scope of the workshop
Theme:
Recent Trends in Thermoelectric
Materials : Fundamentals to Applications
December 1515-17, 2014
Venue:
CSIR--National Physical Laboratory
CSIR
New Delhi, India
Jointly organized by:
CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, India
&
Michigan State University, USA
Sponsored by
Indo-US Science and Technology Forum
This is the second Indo-US workshop on
“Thermoelectrics”,
being
organized
jointly by CSIR-National Physical
Laboratory, India and Michigan State
University, USA and is sponsored by
Indo-US Science and Technology
Forum. The first workshop was held at
IIT, Mumbai, India during January 30 February 1, 2012.
As is evident from its theme, this second
Indo-US workshop would focus on
fundamentals and applied research in
the area of thermoelectric materials and
their devices. Effective solutions to the
major challenges, currently inhibiting the
use of thermoelectric devices for energy
generation, which include enhancement
of
the
thermoelectric
conversion
efficiency (figure of merit) and the use of
cost-effective and non-toxic materials,
will be deliberated upon in this proposed
workshop. Most of the renowned
scientists and technologists in this area
of thermoelectric research, both from
USA and India, have shown keen
interest in actively participating in this
proposed workshop, which will act as a
good platform for mutual interactions
amongst the participants of the two
countries and may result in mutually
beneficial bilateral collaborations.
