Qiaoqiang Gan is a Full Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Program and Thrust Lead for Advanced Cooling Technologies at the Center for Renewable Energy and Storage Technologies, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. He is a Fellow of Optica and SPIE. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics and as Associate Editor for Journal of Photonics for Energy and PhotoniX. He previously served as CLEO Subcommittee Chair, Program Chair, and General Chair; and SPIE Optics+Photonics Annual Meeting's Plenary Session Chair for Sustainability.


Abstract

Accelerating global warming has driven record-high ambient temperatures across major cities worldwide, sharply intensifying cooling demand and straining energy and water infrastructures. Developing cooling technologies that are both energy-efficient and climate-resilient has therefore become a defining scientific challenge.

This talk explores how thermal photonics enables new pathways for heat management through engineered solar absorption, thermal emission, and radiative heat transfer.
