DOHA: Scientists and engineers from around the world gathered in Doha to attend the 2018 International Conference on Thermal Engineering Theory and Applications (ICTEA). 

The conference was organised by Texas A&M University at Qatar, Ryerson University (Canada) and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), and sponsored by the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF).

Dr. César O. Malavé, Dean of Texas A&M at Qatar, said, “Since 2004, this conference has been forging contacts between academics and researchers in regional institutions and their counterparts around the world. The calibre of speakers this year reflects the significance of this event to the region and we are honoured to have scholars of their renown here to share their experience and expertise.”

Dr. Mounir Hamdi, Dean of HBKU’s College of Science and Engineering, said, “We value our partnership with Texas A&M University at Qatar and Ryerson University. The ICTEA conference’s keynotes, presentations, and research papers have helped us achieve a critical understanding of some of the most pertinent topics within the field of thermal engineering theory, as well as its practical applications to the oil and power industries. These are in line with our M S and PhD programmes in sustainable energy and sustainable environment, as well as the research that we conduct within the Division of Sustainable Development at CSE. 

This year’s conference featured seven invited speakers, as well as 40 technical papers and a poster session.
