NIMS WEEK 2020

Nov. 27th (Fri.) 12:10～12:40 (30min)

English program (No Japanese translation)

Is it possible for materials science to shift from a traditional “defensive” scientific approach (i.e., preventing heat from escaping) to a new “offensive” approach (i.e., manipulating and effectively utilizing heat)?
The passionate material scientists of various research fields will discuss the latest trends in materials for thermal management and answer questions submitted in advance to the extent that time allows.

6 Panelists: Prof. Hiroshi Julian GOLDSMID (NIMS Award 2020 winner)
Prof. Kunihito KOUMOTO (NIMS Award 2020 winner)
Prof. Hideo HOSONO (TITECH/NIMS, NIMS Award 2013 winner)
Takao MORI (NIMS)
Yibin XU (NIMS)
Hideki MIYAZAKI (NIMS)
Facilitator: Naoki OHASHI (NIMS)

Panelists

Hiroshi Julian GOLDSMID

Emeritus Professor, The University of New South Wales

NIMS Award 2020 winner

Identified bismuth telluride as a practical material for Peltier cooling for the first time in the world in 1954. Contributed to promote drastic improvement of thermoelectric cooling technologies.

Kunihito KOUMOTO

Professor Emeritus, Nagoya University / Senior Researcher, Nagoya Industrial Science Research Institute / Distinguished Adjunct Professor, King Abdulaziz University

NIMS Award 2020 winner

Pioneered a new class of thermoelectric materials based on the principle of ”nanoblock integration” which paved the way to not only high performance environmental-friendly thermoelectric materials but also flexible inorganic-organic hybrid thermoelectric materials.

Hideo HOSONO

Honorary Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology / NIMS Distinguished Fellow

NIMS Award 2013 winner

The world-renowned materials scientist who is known for development of amorphous oxide semiconductor and discovering iron-based superconductors, etc. Named NIMS Distinguished Fellow and became a team leader at Electro-Active Materials Team in MANA in April 2020.

Takao MORI

Group Leader, Thermal Energy Materials Group, International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics, NIMS
