2022 Micro Flow and Interfacial Phenomena (FIP) Conference Support
Abstract
The 2nd Micro Flow and Interfacial Phenomena (FIP) Conference will be held at Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences,and Engineering, Irvine, CA, June 20-23, 2022. This conference is the successor of the "International Conference on Microchannels an,d Minichannels" (ICMM), held since 2003 and the "ASME International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels and Minichannels" (ICN,MM). The inaugural FIP conference was held virtually in 2021. Given the tremendous recent and historic upheaval related to climate,change and the water-energy nexus, the scientific objective of FIP is to bring together the phase change and single-phase heat tran,sfer, multi-phase flow, bio-chemical and bio-medical engineering, and microflow processes communities with an emphasis on energy app,lications having components exhibiting microchannel flow or microscale surface phenomena (e.g., droplets, thin films, bubbles, etc.),. The insights obtained from successful FIP conference and the chapter will pave the way for the implementation of novel methods fo,r transport physics in a range of applications.The FIP conference is one of the premier annual events for researchers in fields rel,ated to transport and interfacial phenomena. During the conference, researchers will discuss the advancements in the fundamental und,erstanding of transport and interfacial physics and how fundamental physics can be related to modern biochemical, biomedical, and en,ergy applications. The conference includes two plenary and nine keynote presentations. The speakers are from various disciplines and, institutions, representing a broad spectrum of fields. The FIP conference provide valuable networking opportunities. The format of, the conference allows for easy interactions between researchers, and places a special emphasis on formal and informal exchanges bet,ween junior researchers (graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty) and established researchers. This aspect is part of our mi,ssion and vision totruly advance and incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our research communities. For example, we, provide the youngest generation of researchers a platform to showcase their work to a broad audience as part of our student keynote, award and a poster session. We will lead a couple of breakout sessions to discuss various topics (the potential topics include publ,ishing papers, career paths, and work-life balance, etc). Furthermore, the FIP leadership committee has set the goal of gender pari,ty amongst its committee and all invited speakers. Financial support is essential to bring together such a diverse group of research,ers for an in-person conference.
