The International Thermoelectric Society is pleased to announce that Dr. Glen Slack will receive the first ITS Outstanding Achievement award co-sponsored by Komatsu at ICT 2011. Glen Slack is well known for seminal contributions to our understanding of lattice thermal conductivity in solids, the promotion of the phonon-glass-electron-crystal concept in thermoelectrics, the minimum thermal conductivity of a solid, and the importance of electronegativity difference in determining mobility in
The International Thermoelectric Society is pleased to announce that Komaatsu, makers of thermoelectric thermoelectric modules will be a co-sponsor for the ITS Outstanding Achievement award beginning at ICT 2011 in Traverse City Michigan. The award recognizes a well known scientist for their outstanding contributions in the field of thermoelectricity with a gift of $2000 and the awardee will present a plenary lecture thursday morning at ICT 2011 in Traverse City Michigan.
