Date: 04/02/2022 Article: Prof.Ong’s group A 2020 review paper published by Associated Professor Wee-Liat Ong and his KAUST collaborators on “Halide perovskites: thermal transport and prospects for thermoelectricity” in Advanced Science was recently recognized as one of the “ESI Highly Cited Papers” on Web of Science. Highly Cited Papers are papers that gathered sufficient citations to place them in the top 1% of a particular academic field. Advanced Science is an interdisciplinary journal covering fundamental and applied research in several areas including materials science, physics and chemistry, medical and life sciences, as well as engineering. Advanced Science has a 2020 Impact Factor of 16.806. This paper summarizes the recent re-emergence of halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications. The multifunctional nature of halide perovskites has led to diverse applications other than photovoltaics. The ultralow thermal conductivity coupled with decent mobility and charge carrier tunability made it a contender for future thermoelectrics. This paper describes recent advances in the understanding of thermal transport in halide perovskites. The structural and compositional effects on phonon transport are analyzed. Understanding thermal transport is critical for devising effective heat dissipation schemes and determining other thermal-related properties like thermo-optic coefficients, hot-carrier cooling, and thermoelectric efficiency. Their potentials and challenges for thermoelectrics are also reviewed. Finally, strategies to overcome the limiting factors for creating good halide perovskite thermoelectrics are explored. Date: 17/01/2022 Article: Stephanie Photo Credits: Interviewees Recently, two students (21’ Electrical Engineering), LU Haofan and YU Yi, published their paper “Deep learning techniques elucidate and modify the shape factor to extend the effective medium theory beyond its original formulation” in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer under the supervision of ZJUI Associate Professor Weeliat Ong. Their paper proposes a universal optimization method based on neural networks, which realizes the rapid estimation of the thermal conductivity of composite materials with new particle shapes and expands the application range of the original effective medium theories (EMTs). There are two widely-used methods for approximating the thermal conductivity of composite materials - one is the Analytical EMT Model, the other is the Finite Element Model. They both have advantages and disadvantages- while it is faster to use the Analytical EMT Model, a re-derivation is required for a new particle shapes and the Finite Element Model requires much time and computing resources. In this regard, the two students were inspired by the transfer learning of neural networks. They applied the known EMT Article: James Qi The First International Competition on Modern Bamboo Structure Building Design closed its registration on January 15, 2022.

He is on the editorial board for multiple top journals in power systems, including IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Access, IET Generation, Transmission&Distribution, and International Journal of Numerical Modelling. Multiple research prototypes developed by Prof. Diao’s team were commercialized by vendors, which are now widely used by power companies in North America and China. Research Interests: Power system security and stability; power grid modeling, simulation and analysis; application of HPC and Artificial Intelligence; planning, operation and control of new-style power system The intelligent system for systematic management and integration of high school physics knowledge proposed by the project aims to solve two major problems existing in current Chinese high school education: one is the problem of online learning resources for Chinese high school students. At present, the types of online learning resources for senior high school students are complex and the quality is uneven. They are often difficult for high school students to select coursework. They may waste time and energy in screening resources, resulting in low learning efficiency; Second, the traditional teaching in senior high school is not personalized and needs to be targeted. Because there are great differences between students’ knowledge level and learning progress, it is usually difficult for teachers to make an overall plan. HUANG Jingyuan, SHANG Jialin and ZENG Shihua put forward the idea of better integrating the traditional education industry with information technology, which is conducive to the systematic evaluation of students’ subject knowledge and ability level, and also provides many conveniences for teachers to master and analyze students’ learning more efficiently. At the same time, it enriches the ways students obtain learning resources, so that students (especially students in areas with relatively scarce educational resources) can obtain many rich learning resources online that they could not obtain before. Through this project, the three students hope to optimize high school education resources, help high school students formulate learning strategies scientifically, help middle school teachers provide more personalized guidance, use the scientific and technological dividends of the information age to reduce the burden on teachers, and use computer-based collaborative learning to serve the education industry.
