应朱绍伟教授的邀请，美国Wisconsin大学John M. Pfotenhauer教授4月14日访问同济大学机械与能源工程学院，并与制冷与低温工程研究所的师生围绕“Heat Capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal contraction of materials at low temperatures”和“Thermal insulation for cryogenic applications”两个主题进行了学术交流。
 Professor John M. Pfotenhauer earned his BA, MA, and PhD degrees in physics from St. Olaf College and the University of Oregon in 1979, 1981, and 1984. For eight years he conducted research as part of the Applied Superconductivity Center at the University of Wisconsin – Madison before joining the faculty there in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering Physics in 1993. In addition to his research in cryogenics, and in educational games, he teaches courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy systems laboratory, cryogenics, and vacuum technology. |
