DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Thermoelectric power generators can convert waste hea
 t into useful electrical energy\, but traditional thermoelectric device ma
 nufacturing uses bulk material processing with machining\, assembly\, and 
 integration steps which lead to material waste and performance limitations
 . The traditional manufacturing approach offers virtually no flexibility i
 n designing the architecture of thermoelectric modules\, especially at mul
 tiple length scales. Additive manufacturing can overcome these challenges.
  Although printing techniques\, including 3D printing\, have been explored
  for thermoelectric devices\, these techniques have been limited to organi
 c or organic-inorganic composite materials. Additive manufacturing solutio
 ns have not been demonstrated for inorganic thermoelectric materials. This
  presentation will describe our progress in laser-based additive manufactu
 ring of thermoelectric materials such as tellurides and silicides. Laser p
 owder bed fusion (also known as selective laser melting) is an additive ma
 nufacturing process which locally melts successive layers of material powd
 er to construct three-dimensional objects. When applied to thermoelectric 
 materials\, this technique could enable new shapes\, hierarchical structur
 ing\, material-to-device integration\, and large-area processing. The pres
 entation will show the first demonstrations of laser additive manufacturin
 g applied to thermoelectric materials and discuss the link between materia
 ls\, manufacturing\, and system-level considerations for thermoelectric po
 wer generators.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Saniya \n\nAgenda: \n- Date: 6 June 2

 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&nbsp\; </span>The traditional manufactu
 ring approach offers virtually no flexibility in designing the architectur
 e of thermoelectric modules\, especially at multiple length scales. Additi
 ve manufacturing can overcome these challenges. Although printing techniqu
 es\, including 3D printing\, have been explored for thermoelectric devices
 \, these techniques have been limited to organic or organic-inorganic comp
 osite materials. Additive manufacturing solutions have not been demonstrat
 ed for inorganic thermoelectric materials. This presentation will describe
  our progress in laser-based additive manufacturing of thermoelectric mate
 rials such as tellurides and silicides. Laser powder bed fusion (also know
 n as selective laser melting) is an additive manufacturing process which l
 ocally melts successive layers of material powder to construct three-dimen
 sional objects. When applied to thermoelectric materials\, this technique 
 could enable new shapes\, hierarchical structuring\, material-to-device in
 tegration\, and large-area processing. The presentation will show the firs
 t demonstrations of laser additive manufacturing applied to thermoelectric
  materials and discuss the link between materials\, manufacturing\, and sy
 stem-level considerations for thermoelectric power generators.</p><br /><b
