Objective of the School
The Summer School will give metrologists new to the field of measurements of the thermophysical properties of materials an overview of the state-of-the-art techniques used for measuring thermal transport properties, caloric quantities and radiative properties with the aim to prepare them for their future work.
During the first two days the in-depth theoretical lectures will be given at the LNE’s head office (Paris). The course tutors are internationally recognised experts in their fields coming from various European NMIs:
- Albert Adibekyan, PTB, Germany
- Alberto Albo, INRIM, Italy
- Bruno Hay, LNE, France
- Daria Szewczyk, INTIBS, Poland
- Jiyu Wu, NPL, United Kingdom
- Nenad Milosević, VINS, Serbia
- Nolwenn Fleurence, LNE, France
- Peter Pavlasek, SMU, Slovakia
- Refat Razouk, LNE, France
Hands-on-training will be held on the last day and a half in LNE Trappes labs.
The School will be highly interactive with plenty of time for discussions and questions. During registration students are invited to identify their specific training interest, to ensure that the course tutors can tailor the lectures accordingly.
Participants of the school will be able to use LNE’s MATIS platform for thermophysical properties metrology, which is the most comprehensive one existing in NMIs worldwide
Who should attend?
The course is primarily aimed at those in NMIs or DIs who have less than two years of experience in the field of thermal metrology or who need to gain initial experience in thermophysical properties measurements.
