The ASME 2012 3rd Micro/Nanoscale Heat & Mass Transfer International Conference will be held at Georgia Tech Global Learning Center, Atlanta, GA, on March 3-6, 2012. The Conference is sponsored by the ASME Heat Transfer Division and Georgia Institute of Technology.

Research and education on micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer has advanced rapidly over the last two decades through many dedicated individuals and teams efforts, with direct impact now extending into various fields in both science and engineering. This conference series is dedicated to Dr. Chang-Lin Tien (1935-2002), a world renowned scholar and a leader in higher education, whose intellect and unique visions have continued to inspire our upmost efforts in expanding the frontiers of micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer. The first two conferences were held in Tainan (January 2008) and Shanghai (December 2009) with over 300 attendees each.

The conference is intended to provide a forum for researchers and educators around the world to exchange the state-of-the-art research and development and identify research needs in this emerging field. The conference will include keynote and invited presentations, contributed oral and poster presentations, as well as panel discussion on the current status and future opportunities. Technical papers or extended abstracts are solicited in, but not limited to the following areas. Selected authors (limited) will be encouraged to submit manuscripts for consideration of inclusion in a special issue of ASME Journal of Heat Transfer. Each technical Track will have oral presentations, poster presentations and invited talks:
