Invited Speakers

COVID-19 UPDATE (08/07/21):

To our deep regret, with the rapid outbreak of the new delta variant of Covid-19 and with travel restrictions applied both within the UK and especially from abroad, we have concluded that it will not be feasible to hold UKHTC-2021 in September, 2021. We have, however, secured alternative dates at the same venue in Spring 2022 by which time we trust that the virus will have been fully contained. The new dates for the conference will be April 3-5, 2022.

The website has now been updated with revised submission deadlines, please visit the Important Dates page for more details. Additional paper proposals may be submitted with a firm deadline of December 6, 2021.

We are also pleased to invite offers of papers to an entirely new special session: "Artificial Intelligence Applications to Heat Transfer". Please visit the updated Call for Papers page for more details.

The conference organisers are delighted to have been able to attract the following seven keynote speakers exploring a fascinating range of topics:
