Friday, March 5th at 7 PM ET with Captain Scott Kelly, a NASA Astronaut! He will be speaking with a Cornell Professor about his life and career in a moderated Q&A.

Scott Kelly will speak of his year in space and how personal determination made the difference when meeting challenges on space missions and his personal life. He set the record for the total accumulated number of days spent in space, the single longest space mission by an American astronaut.

In a moderated Q&A, Scott will recount the challenges that he and his crew faced on his four missions to space, and what helped him overcome these obstacles. Resilience and courage, he affirms, helped him as a young boy who struggled in school to reach for the stars and fulfill his dreams to reach space.

Hello! I’d like to introduce everyone to the ZT Group in Upson Hall in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

We are an interdisciplinary research group specializing in both computational modeling and experimental characterization of energy transport. As electronic devices become ever smaller, it becomes ever more important to understand the mechanics of heat transfer on a nanoscale level, where classical methods and bulk properties no longer apply. As we learn to harness more energy, we must learn to deal with side effects such as waste heat, far better than we do today.

Some of the topics we work on are thermoelectric energy conversion, micro/nanoelectronics cooling, thermal/electrical properties of polymers, and novel thermal devices.

We are currently recruiting undergraduates, particularly sophomores. If you’re interested, find out more at https://ztgroup.org/

The application is here: https://forms.gle/AdwiLPPJfN1vpoqk6

The application closes on March 17th.

Thanks everyone!
