... In the 1820s, before Ohm's law of resistance was published, Thomas Johann Seebeck discovered a proportional relationship between temperature and voltage, now known as the Seebeck ­coefficient.1 Shortly after that, Joseph Fourier published his work on heat flow.2 Thermal transport and energy conversion remains an active field offering opportunities for new discoveries and applications. By providing a venue for in-depth talks and open discussion, the workshop was designed to surface key challenges, 1   T.J.
