Purdue's heat transfer students won big at the Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) in Las Vegas, Nevada in May 2019:

• Aaditya Candadai swept the Outstanding Paper, Best Poster, and the Art-In-Science competition for his work on "A Measurement Technique for Thermal Conductivity Characterization of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Yarns Using High-Resolution Infrared Microscopy".  Aaditya is co-advised by Amy Marconnet and Justin Weibel.
• Debraliz Isaac-Aragones won the Outstanding Poster award in the Component-Level Thermal Management Track for her work on the "Effect of Particle Arrangement on the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Polymer Composites". Debraliz is a student at the University of Central Florida, who spent a summer researching with Amy Marconnet as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program.
• Patrick Krane won the Outstanding Poster award in the Emerging Technologies & Fundamentals Track for his work on "Identifying Hot Spots in Electronics Packages with a Sensitivity-Coefficient Based Inverse Heat Conduction Method". Patrick is a Ph.D. student under Amy Marconnet.
