The Laser Diagnostics in Energy and Reacting Flows GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
To reach the global demand of lower greenhouse emissions and higher energy conversion efficiencies, continuous development of combustion and energy-related processes is necessary. Nonintrusive, spatially and temporally resolved techniques in laser diagnostics are capable of investigating both combustion and related fields in fine detail to uncover fundamental insights into the underlying phenomena. In this context, laser optical techniques designed to measure temperature, pressure, major species concentrations and velocity are of great interest, as well as their applications in harsh and challenging environments. Furthermore, these optical diagnostic techniques are well suited to study additional energy-related processes including catalytic conversion and energy storage. The scope of the GRS on Laser Diagnostics in Energy and Reacting Flows is to capture the current trends and developments within the community and discuss the capabilities as well as limitations of recent progresses.
The GRS provides a unique space for young researchers and scientists, such as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, to share unpublished findings in a social and friendly setting. Whether you're eager to learn from senior researchers, collaborate with peers, or find inspiration, this event promises to ignite innovation and shape the future of diagnostic techniques.
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by March 9, 2025. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
