| Title: Electricity using Nanomaterials | |
| Abstract: Electricity from waste heat or temperature gradient is among the cleanest form of energy. The best performance can be achieved using efficient thermoelectric materials with high thermoelectric figure of merit ZT = (S2σ/κ)T, where S is the thermo-electric voltage, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ the thermal conductivity and T the temperature. Recent findings have proven it to be possible using nanostructured thermoelectric materials. These aspects shall be discussed in brief in this talk. | |
| Biography: Dr. G. S. Okram did his PhD from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (1995), India. He worked at several research institutes including National Institute of Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan (1996-98) as STA Fellow before joining UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Indore, MP, India as Scientist D in 2001. He is now Scientist G, and has guided three PhD, 6 MPhil, 4 M Tech, 49 MSc and 4 BSc project students, delivered over 70 invited lectures at different national and international conferences, reviewed several reputed journal papers, published over 128 peer-reviewed (reputed) journal papers and 117 conference proceeding presentations with 1392 times citations. | |
