P-Olivier CHAPUIS - CNRS research scientist

Among the conferences and workshops to come:
- We will host in Lyon the kick-off of the French network on thermophotovoltaics (TREE) on May 19-21, 2025. Stay tuned!
- There will be a session on nanoscale thermal transport at the MRS meeting in Seattle in Spring 2025: session SF01
- Phononics 2025 will take place in Seoul (South Korea) on June 9-13, 2025.
- Phonons 2025 will take place in Buenos Aires (Argentina) on December 1-5, 2025.
- TPV-16, the conference devoted to thermophotovoltaics, will take place in Toulouse (France) in 2026. The edition in 2024 took place in Madrid. See the website.

Online useful material
- the articles belonging to the Special Topic collection on "Thermal radiation at the nanoscale and applications" were published in Applied Physics Letters in 2023. Some information on the aims can be found here.
- the KTIP session on Fluctuational Electrodynamics took place in Summer 2022. All talks are available online. Mine can be watched here.
- I can provide the slides of the 17h lecture on "Nanoscale Energy Transport: Beyond Planck and Fourier" that took place online for the Jyväskulä summer school (Finland) 2021. Lectures have also been recorded.
- I participated in 2021 to two webinars (for free), organized by a software company, related to the link between nanoscale heat dissipation, mostly by heat conduction, and macroscopic heat transfer. You can find the recorded videos here ("Tech Café", Q&A-like session) and here (more seminar-style, in French).

Research networks and projects
- A network addressing issues related to instrumentation and metrology at nanoscale was set up in France in 2024, with a line of research on thermal issues. It is called CarMaNano. More information here...
- A network devoted to thermophotovoltaics has been set up for all colleagues interested in this topic: the international R&D network on ThermoPhotoVoltaics, i-TPV. The organizers of the thermophotovoltaics conference (TPV-12, TPV-13, TPV-14, TPV-15) are involved. At the French level, the initial "project-team" TREE has been extended to a proper network ("GDR"). It organized two workshops and a scientific school (2022, 2023, 2024). We will host in Lyon the kick-off of its extension its current network configuration in May 2025.
- There is a network devoted to NAnoMaterials for Energy (NAME) at the French level. You can find online material on its website. A scientific school was organized in 2022: MONACOSTE.
- The website of the EU project TPX-Power (Waste heat recovery through near-field thermophotonics) can be found here, while that of the EU project OPTAGON (Optical approach to next-generation refrigeration) can be found here. The website of the EU project EFINED (Energy Filtering Non-Equilibrium Devices), which ran until June 2022, is here.
- A large EU project devoted to thermal nanometrology (QuantiHeat) ended in 2017. You can read the final newsletter, which summarizes some of the results of the project, in the website.

Past conferences and scientific schools
- European conferences (previously Eurotherm Nano) on Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer are the key EU conferences of our field. Information and slides of the 2014 edition that we organized in Lyon are still downloadable. Following conferences took place in Santorini (Greece) in 2016, in Levi (Lapland, Finland) in 2018 (some photos available here), in Palermo in 2022, and in Girona in 2024. The next one is expected to take place in 2026 in Berlin.
- The key conference on nanoscale heat transfer in USA is the MRS Nanoscale Thermal Transport session taking place every odd year in the Spring session. Last editions took place online (2021), in Phoenix (2019, 2017) and in San Francisco (until 2015, 2023).
- E-MRS symposia devoted the nanoscale thermal transport are organized often. See the program of the edition that took place in 2019.
- The scientific school “Wave phenomena and phonon thermal transport” took place on September 2017 in Oléron (France). Presentations can be found on the website: here.
