Experimental and computational thermal science, materials science, and solid-state physics at the nano-/micro-scale to solve problems in energy conversion/storage, electronics, photonics, and quantum devices. Experimental studies are primarily performed using custom microfabricated devices and sensors. In addition to experimental studies, multiscale computational models in conjunction with optimization and machine learning techniques are employed to improve device performance and energy efficiency.
