The International Thermoelectric Society (ITS) announces the 2020 ITS Young Investigator Award for Excellence in Research in Thermoelectrics by a young investigator who holds a researcher/engineer position in either: academia, industry, government lab or scientific institute (e.g. The Max Planck Institute). This award is to be given to a young researcher who has exhibited a record of excellent original work and significant results in the field of thermoelectrics or thermoelectric materials. The recipient should have shown significant research in the early stages of his/her career. The work will not be judged as part of their Ph.D. thesis but work that occurred after their Ph.D. contributions and findings will be required. The selection committee will be considering only original work and contributions.
The International Thermoelectric Society (ITS) Conference Registration Waiver is intended to assist graduate students to participate at the annual International Conference on Thermoelectrics (ICT). As part of our commitment to advancing research and training, the ITS will provide funding for up to 15 registration waivers for students to attend ICT2020 in Seatlle, USA.
Eligibility
Graduate students are eligible to apply for an ITS Registration Waiver if:
The International Thermoelectric Society is pleased to announce that Cheng Chang, of Beihang University, China, has been selected as the recipient of the 2019 ITS Goldsmid Award, for excellence in research in thermoelectricity by a graduate student.
