HIT News – On June 9th, the eighth International Radiation Transmission Seminar was held in Turkey. Professor Zhao Junming from the School of Energy Science and Engineering became one of the two prize winners for the Elsevier/ Raymond Weisskanta Young Scientist Award this year. He is also the first Chinese young scholar who has won the honor.
The Elsvier/Raymond Weisskanta Award was named after Raymond Weisskanta, who is an academician of the American Academy of Engineering and a professor of Purdue University to commemorate his great contributions to radiation transmission since 1950s.
Zhao Junming is mainly engaged in the fundamental research of radiation heat transfer in complicated media, including the advanced radiation transmission model and numerical method, properties of surface and particle thermal radiation, nano-scale radiation transmission and the near field radiation heat exchange and the regulation of the surface radiation properties in complicated media during the process of heat transmission and measurement. He is the member of the Science Council of the International Federation of Heat and Mass Transfer and the reviewer of many international journals. He has published over 30 academic articles in several prestigious academic journals in Applied Physics and Heat Transmission together with a monograph. He was awarded for the Excellent Doctoral Dissertations in HIT and nominated for the Excellent Doctoral Dissertations in China. He was selected for the Outstanding Talent Program of Fundamental Research and the Recruiting and Selecting Plan of the Outstanding Young Scholars.
