Prof Lingai Luo at French National Centre for Scientific Research visited HEG on May 24 and we together with Yang Shen and Zhike Liu talked about thermal managements of electronics in details.

Biography
Pr. Lingai LUO is Exceptional Class Research Director (ECRD) of French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Laboratoire de Thermique et Energie de Nantes (LTEN-CNRS UMR6607), France. She was Direction member of LTEN and the director of LOCIE, both Laboratories of CNRS. She was the cofounder and coordinator of Sino-French Collaboratory for Environmental and Process Engineering and the director of its successor Sino-French Laboratory for Sustainable Energy of French CNRS and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research covers a wide range of topics in thermal, process and energy engineering, successively: combustion in fluidized bed; energy balance analysis of industries; solar refrigeration machines; adsorption and absorption processes; thermoelectric heat pumps; energy for buildings, solar energy, energy storage, innovative fluidic, thermal and reactive components and their multi-functionality, energy system integration and optimization, topology optimization assisted by machine learning etc. She proposed a multi-scale approach for energy efficiency optimization of processes. To improve the global performance, intensification should necessarily be implemented at three scales: local scale, component scale and system scale. The internal links between these scales should be carefully examined for performance maximization with minimization of dissipations. She developed an innovative strategy for optimized management of fluid which aims to establish a new fluid distribution optimization strategy in fluidic, thermal and reactive devices, as well as in their integration into multifunctional and multi-scale systems. She has been the author or editor of 4 books and over 150 journal articles. She is serving as subject editor of Energy Journal, and associate editor of three others Journals.
