Elah Bozorg-Grayeli received his B.S. with honors in Mechanical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (2008), and his M.S in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University (2010). He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. His research interests involve understanding nanoscale heat conduction in thin films and in junctions between dissimilar materials. Elah's work includes measuring thermal properties of materials used in phase change memory, high electron mobility transistors, and extreme UV mirrors, using nanosecond and picosecond thermoreflectance. He has received support from the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship and honorary fellowships from Stanford University and the National Science Foundation.
