Defects and electron-phonon coupling are frontier challenges for thermal boundary resistance theory. With Jungwan’s new Phys Rev B and papers from Jaeho and Zijian we’ve now provided new models and supporting data on both topics. With AFOSR and DARPA support, Jungwan Cho, Zijian Li, Jaeho Lee, and Elah Bozorg Grayeli have been sorting out the […]
Prof. Goodson was recognized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science for his distinguished contributions to the thermal sciences news article
A collaboration with Wei Cai’s and Tom Kenny’s groups here in Stanford ME, as well as Shigeo Maruyama’s group at Tokyo Institute of Technology, is available now in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. View the paper
With Boeing and Prof. Debbie Senesky (Aero/Astro), we’ll develop SiC micro heat sinks for satellites.We’ll explore phonon scattering & coherence for NSF, continuing the notorious bubbles-phonons rivalry in the NanoHeat lab!
SANIYA LEBLANC (PhD 2012) joins George Washington University, ERIC POP (PhD 2005) started with Stanford Electrical Engineering, and AMY MARCONNET (PhD 2012) started with Purdue Mechanical Engineering. We wish them well! view our alumni
Congrats to our undergrad researchers! Maneeshika Madduri won fellowships from both Fulbright and Sandia Labs! Jena Barnes had a poster at MRS and won a fellowship for PhD studies at Duke next fall! Congratulations to both of our undergraduate researchers, Jena Barnes and Maneeshika Madduri, for their prestigious awards and accomplishments over the past few […]
Under our new AFOSR grant, Jaeho, Elah, and Zijian are sorting out the electron and phonon contributions for the first time using nanolayers of metals, semi-metals, and dielectrics. With AFOSR support, Zijian Li, Jaeho Lee, and Elah Bozorg Grayeli, are sorting out the electron and phonon contributions to thermal boundary resistance. Thermal boundary resistance is […]
Amy Marconnet leads a major review for the Journal of Heat Transfer Anniversary Issue.”From the Casimir Limit to Phononic Crystals…” describes 20 years of phonon transport research starting with the highly-cited Stanford thesis work of Asheghi and coworkers. J. Heat Transfer Article
DARPA ICECOOL targets two-phase microfluidic cooling with world record heat fluxes. We will lead a $2 million program with Raytheon as subcontractor with applications to radar chips.We will also subcontract with IBM in a second program addressing 3D integrated circuit cooling. Project Overview
IEEE Fellow effective January 2013. The “THERMI Award in the Thermal Sciences” recognizes contributions to thermal challenges in semiconductor technology and features a plenary address at SEMITHERM 2013.
