Heat transfer is the topic of Milton Jara's lecture.
Chilean mathematician Milton Jara presented his findings on heat transfer this Tuesday (7), at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2018). He participated in the conference “Conducting anomalous heat in conservative one-dimensional systems”.
Heat transfer is extremely important for the safe handling of system components. Jara seeks to explore how the dimensionality of a system can affect Fourier's law conductivity, the most important reference when discussing heat transfer for 2D and 3D structures.

When evaluating heat transfer in 1D, the researcher cited carbon nanotubes as examples, which are important for industrial applications and energy storage. Furthermore, they have applications in healthcare, as they are used to measure nitric oxide levels and detect cancerous cells.
Milton Jara graduated in Mathematics from the University of Chile (1999). He holds a master's degree, a doctorate, and a post-doctorate from the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) in Brazil, where he is an associate researcher.
