Professor Chang-Ying Zhao, Dean of China-UK Low Carbon College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has been awarded the prestigious William Begell Medal for his lifetime achievements in thermal science and engineering, especially in recognition to his great contributions to the micro/nanoscale heat transfer, thermal radiation, heat transfer in porous media and thermal energy storage. The William Begell Medal for Excellence in Thermal Science and Engineering is one of the most renowned awards in heat transfer and thermal science fields. This distinguished accolade will be bestowed to Professor Chang-Ying Zhao during the 17th International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-17) in Cape Town, South Africa in August 2023, and Professor Zhao will deliver the Begell Medal Award Lecture.

【Introduction of William Begell Medal】

The William Begell Medal, first established in 2010 by the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC), the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) and Begell House Inc. Publishers, is awarded to one individual every four years at the International Heat Transfer Conference. In 2023 the Award Steering Committee has elevated the William Begell Medal to the highest level for the winner selection, and it is to be bestowed upon an internationally recognized, highly-accomplished researcher and leader in fundamentals or applications of thermal sciences and engineering based on the lifetime achievements. The global organizations Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC), the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT), American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE), Asian Union of Thermal Science and Engineering (AUTSE), and EUROTHERM each nominate one candidate, and Medal's Award Council chooses the final winner by anonymous vote. 

【Profile of Professor Chang-Ying Zhao】

Professor Chang-Ying Zhao has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research in thermal engineering for over three decades. Currently, he is the Chair Professor, the Director of Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, and the Dean of China-UK Low Carbon College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Professor Zhao has conducted systematic and in-depth research in micro/nanoscale heat transfer, thermal radiation and metamaterial energy devices, heat transfer in porous media and advanced energy storage. 

Professor Zhao has published over 260 high-quality papers in prestigious international journals like the Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, Energy and Environmental Sciences, Nano Letters, Advanced Materials, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, and the published papers have been cited more than 15,000 times in total. He has been recognized as one of the Most Cited Chinese Researchers every year since 2014.
