Cleveland State University, Cleveland OH, U.S.A., ytao19@csuohio.edu

Like all the fellow societies, the American Society of Thermal and Fluid Engineers (ASTFE) faces the samechallenge due to the global Covid-19 pandemics that all the events are changed to a virtual delivery mode.
Despite this challenge, ASTFE, being an agile organization, continues to focus on emerging research
applications, including those related to Covid-19.
Activities
Annual Conference. ASTFE postponed its Thermal and Fluids Engineering conference in 2020 due tothe pandemic. In May of 2021, our annual international conference resumed and the 5th-6th Thermal and Fluids
Engineering Conference is presented as a virtual event. Please see the web site
https://www.astfe.org/tfec2021/conference_program/. TFEC-2021 registrants have access to all recorded
presentations for one year. These presentations are included in the Begell House digital library and several Begell
House journals that continue to be affiliated with the Society. Authors are encouraged to submit their articles tothese journals. We look forward to resuming on-site events in the future.
Covid-19 Themed Workshop. Over the past year, with the challenges associated with COVID-19,
ASTFE has worked to adapt its programming while continuing to provide its members opportunities to discuss
contemporary world problems and solutions along with how thermal scientists and engineers can help to addressthese challenges. In August of 2020, ASTFE presented a virtual workshop on Covid-19: Challenges in Researchand Education. The workshop featured invited speakers including keynote addresses, panelists and outstanding
scientists and engineers engaged at the forefront of this battle and were involved in research and development incombatting the COVID-19 pandemic. Well-received, ASTFE is working to develop additional programming in
support of industrial needs and global challenges.
NSF Sponsored Project. A recent initiative in which ASTFE is involved as a proud co-sponsor is theCenter of Leadership Development in Built Environment Sustainability (CLDBES). With the support of NSF,
ASTFE, and university partners, the CLDBES program is designed to provide U.S. students an international
experience through a leadership and professional development program in sustainable built environment research.
Our aim is for this project to be scaled up for broader adoption in the future for professional societies andacademic institutions. ASTFE provides administrative support to the program, serves in an advisory role, andfacilitates the Sustainability Tank Challenge at the annual TFEC conference.
AwardsASTFE continues to honor our members for impressive achievements and contributions. Eleven new
distinguished scholars have been elected as Fellows in the past two years. In addition, the 2020 and 2021 Thermaland Fluids Engineering Award will be presented to Professor Yogesh Jaluria of Rutgers University and Professor
Joseph Katz of Johns Hopkins in recognition of substantial contributions to the field. Also, the International
Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) will present the Luikov Medal to Professor John Howell. Theseawards will be presented at the 5th-6th Thermal and Fluids Engineers Conference (TFEC), May 26-28, 2021.
International Collaboration
International collaboration remains an important focus of the Society. ASTFE continues its international
collaboration with the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and the Korea Society of MechanicalEngineers (KSME) with whom ASTFE continues to be an integral organizer of the Pacific-Rim ThermalEngineering Conference (2019 and 2023 PRTEC), and with the Indian Society of Heat and Mass Transfer(ISHMT) for the 2021 ISHMT-ASTFE conference in December 17-20, 2021. Future conferences are in theorganizing stages to encourage joint collaboration and research.

Kyushu University, Japan, takata@mech.kyushu-u.ac.jp

New normal
The gobal outbreak of COVID-19 is affecting almost every aspect of our lives, including how we meet andcommunicate. AUTSE Executive Board (EB) meetings used to be held face-to-face during international
conferences and topical seminars. However, the EB meeting in 2020 was held monitor-to-monitor (online).
Ironically it has some positive effect. For the first time the attendance was 100%, which was not possible in
the past due to travel limitations. The EB meeting in April 2021 was held in the same manner.
Activities
In 2019, AUTSE co-organized MTTSE-2019 (2nd International Symposium on Measurement Technology in
Thermal Science and Engineering) which was held during November 16-17 in Dalian, China. The Union
sponsored two conferences. The first one is ASCHT2019 (The 7th Asian Symposium on Computational Heat
Transfer and Fluid Flow), which was held during September 3-7 in Tokyo, Japan. The second one is
ISOPHP2019 (International Symposium on Oscillating/Pulsating Heat Pipes) which was held during
September 25-28 in Daejeon, Korea. Prof. Sung Jin Kim at KAIST, Past President of AUTSE, chaired
ISOPHP2019. As a general and regular meeting of AUTSE, the Union is going to hold the Asian Conferenceon Thermal Sciences (ACTS) every four years in cooperation with a local heat-transfer society/organization
within the Asian region. The 2nd ACTS was initially planned to be held in November 2020 but postponed due
to COVID-19 pandemic. The 2nd ACTS will be held online during Oct. 3-7, 2021, which is organized by Heat
Transfer Society of Japan and co-organized by participating societies in Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, India,
and Korea. More details can be found on the official webpages of the 2nd ACTS and AUTSE,
http://acts2020jp.org/ and http://autse-asia.org/.
AwardsThere are two kinds of awards conferred by the Union: OAA (Outstanding Achievement Award) and YSA(Young Scientist Award). The OAA will be conferred every four years at the ACTS Conferences, and YSA
may be presented every two years at appropriate topical seminars sponsored by the Union. In 2020, AUTSE
has decided to confer the OAA’s on Prof. Ken Okazaki at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan and Prof. Sang
Yong Lee at KAIST, Korea. The YSA’s was conferred on Dr. Boxiang Wang at Shanghai Jiatong University,
China, Dr. Tsuyoshi Nagasawa at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and Dr. Yongseok Jeon at Chonnam
National University, Korea. The OAA and YSA will be awarded next year during the 2nd ACTS.

ICHMTHeat and Mass Transfer constitute some of the key phenomena of human activity in many facets of society.
Much of the technology needed for sustainable development while addressing the impact on our climate
are related to applications of heat and mass transfer. Through the ICHMT, the community has developed
techniques for continued advancement for decades and has contributed greatly to modern medicine,transportation, electronics, manufacturing, and so much more. The field continues to mature and confront
renewed challenges with the development of new techniques, instrumentation, and applications required
for sustained development. ICHMT will sponsor symposia that open new frontiers for discovery andinnovation that we can only imagine at this time. Consider our field at the inception of the ICHMT in thelate 1960s with the progress made, and project another 50 years.
In 2018, the ICHMT celebrated its 50thyear advancing its noble mission of providing apolitical forums forthe world's leading scientists and engineers in all branches of heat and mass transfer to communicate,collaborate and pursue excellence. Though the COVID-19 pandemic was a major obstacle this year, theCentre continued to foster international exchange and cooperation. Its prime activities are the scientific andengineering conferences and symposia, problem-focused meetings, forums, international schools and shortcourses, as well as publications of proceedings archived as ICHMT publications, all aimed at promoting
research, education, and exchange of ideas, as well as mutual understanding and good will for the benefitof humankind. The fast pace of the present requires this communication now more than ever.
