ABOUT
We pursue cutting-edge research in fundamental understandings of nanoscale thermal, thermoelectric and charge transport phenomena in low-dimensional materials and devices for applications in nanoelectronics and energy conversion. We aim to explore the physics of thermal energy carriers (phonons) in nanostructured materials (e.g., thin films, 2D materials, and heterostructures) and design novel energy-efficient devices. We combine complementary metrology tools, including high-resolution thermometry for understanding local thermal non-equilibrium processes in electronic devices for logic, storage and energy conversion.
