Coming soon! SOPHOT: Severo Ochoa Workshop on Phononics and Thermal Transport

The new workshop on phononics and thermal transport will take place on 18-19 October 2021 from ICMAB and online. Register before 11 October!

Heat transport is becoming increasingly important within the Research Line in Sustainable Energy Conversion and Storage Systems (RL1 at ICMAB).

Besides the fundamental scientific interest, learning how to modulate the heat flow has important applications in conventional electronics (where heat dissipation at the nanoscale is a major issue) or in the design of efficient thermoelectric materials (where materials with low thermal conductivities must be engineered).

The goal of the Severo Ochoa Workshop on Phononics and Thermal Transport (SOPHOT2021) is showcasing some of the most promising achievements in the field, promoting collaborations and bringing together both experimentalists and theoreticians working on these exciting topics.

We hope you can attend and explore the future research in this field.

Hybrid workshop

The workshop will take place in a hybrid format, as we have limitted spaces available at the Seminar Hall at ICMAB. If you cannot make it there, you will be able to follow the talks online.

We will send the Zoom link to all of those who have registered through the website.

Invited speakers

The SOPHOT2021 will count with 11 invited speakers, experts in their respective fields, related to phononics and thermal transport:

Xavier Alvarez. Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
Olga Caballero. Instituto de Micro y Nanotecnología (IMN-CSIC)
Luciano Colombo, University of Cagliari, Italy
Alexandros El Sachat, Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2)
Giorgia Fugallo, University of Nantes, France
Aitor Lopeandia, Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2)
Bartomeu Monserrat, University of Cambridge, UK
