BPEC Students Win First Best Place Demo Award at IEEE!

January 16, 2025 by Sarah Douglas

Graduate students Logan Horowitz, S. Tahmid Mahbub, Jiarui Zou, and Professor Robert Pilawa-Podgurski have received a First Best Place Demo Award at the recent 2024 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo. Their innovative thermal test vehicle design provides a dynamic platform which simulates the heat generation of high-performance GPUs and CPUs, allowing engineers to evaluate cutting-edge cooling technologies with greater precision. By improving the efficiency and effectiveness of data center cooling, the project will contribute to energy savings and sustainability for next-generation, hyper-efficient data centers.
