We are pleased to announce our plenary and Keynote Speakers for ICAERA 2024 :



Dr. Louis Gosselin

Dr. Louis Gosselin
Université Laval, Canada
Keynote Speaker

Louis Gosselin is a full professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada). The objective of his research is to improve the energy performance of buildings and industrial processes, in close collaboration with governmental, industrial and community partners. His team focused on building envelope, occupant behavior, optimal HVAC control, aluminum production, greenhouse agriculture, and machining industries, among others. Over the years, Professor Gosselin worked with local organizations in Nunavik, an Arctic region from the North of Canada, on housing and energy-related issues. He has become interested in developing bridges between engineering and social sciences through energy justice.

Topic of Keynote: “Glocalization” of Energy Transition - What Research and Advances in the Canadian Arctic Can Teach Us
Keynote Abstract


Dr. Saeed Moghaddam

Dr. Saeed Moghaddam
University of Florida, USA
Keynote Speaker

Dr. Saeed Moghaddam is William Powers Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida (UF). He earned his PhD from the University of Maryland (UMD) in 2006. Before joining UF, he was a postdoctoral associate (2007-2010) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He has made seminal contributions to the field of phase-change heat transfer, including characterizing various mechanisms of heat transfer at the fluid-solid interface with micrometers and microseconds spatial and temporal resolutions, respectively, and discovery of the origin of critical heat flux (CHF) as well as novel enhancement techniques. He has received numerous awards for his research and educational work such as Micro-FIP Leadership Award for his impactful scientific contributions and leadership in fostering collaboration and innovation, ASME ICNMM Outstanding Early CAREER Award, and University of Florida (UF) College of Engineering (COE) PhD Advisor of the Year. His work has been featured in different media outlets such as Data Center Knowledge and Heat Pump Magazine. He has published 150+ technical articles and book chapters and has 20 patents. He has given over 30+ Plenary, Keynote, and Vision talks at different venues. Dr. Moghaddam is Fellow of ASME and ASHRAE and member of ASTFE, IEEE, and AAAS.
