Pr. Juri Grin
Director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden, Germany
Interplay of crystal structure, chemical bonding and thermoelectric behavior
Yuri Grin obtained his PhD degree in chemistry at the University of Lviv (Ukraine). After holding different positions at the home university, since 1994 he is working for the Max-Planck Society in Germany. In 2001 he was elected as the Member of the Max-Planck Society and appointed as the director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Physik fester Stoffe in Dresden. He is a board member of different journals such as J. Solid State Chem., Sci. and Tech. of Adv. Mat. He is part of the boards of the ITS and ETS and organized the 2015 ICT/ECT in Dresden. His research is focused on the understanding of chemical nature of intermetallic compounds, in particular on the interplay between the atomic interactions (chemical bonding) and their bonding-based chemical and physical behaviours, in particular thermoelectric properties.

Dr. Jean-Pierre Fleurial
Leader of JPL’s Thermal Energy Conversion Research & Advancement Group.
A 50 Year-Long Breakthrough in the Making: Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators with New Materials
Jean-Pierre Fleurial is a Senior Research Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory with nearly 30 years of experience in solid-state energy conversion R&D. He holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine, France, as well as a Professional Engineering Degree from the School of Mines, France. He has achieved international recognition in his field as a leader in the research and development of novel materials and devices for thermoelectric energy conversion, in particular for high temperature power generation applications, including waste heat recovery systems and next generation radioisotope and fission space power systems. Dr. Fleurial currently manages JPL’s Thermal Energy Conversion Research & Advancement Group, and he serves as Chief Technologist for JPL’s Nuclear Space Power Office. After managing for the last four years the Thermoelectric Technology Development Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate’s Radioisotope Power Systems Program, he is now Principal Technologist for the new NASA Next Generation Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator Project.
