In Thermofluid Physics Lab (TPL), heat transfer at the atomic and electronic scales is investigated to break through the conventional heat transfer performance limitations. MEMS technology and high-speed infrared cameras are used to measure the thermophysical properties. We also employ theoretical approaches that incorporate concepts from applied physics, such as phonons and photons, to understand heat transfer phenomena.  These results can be applied to the efficient use of thermal energy, cooling devices, and thermal transport and storage in mechanical engineering.
