Mission statement
Energy transport, conversion, and storage are the key issues in many emerging applications such as the thermal management of electronic devices, thermal protections in hypersonic vehicles, thermoelectric energy harvesting, energy management of buildings, lithium-ion batteries, and nuclear energy uses. Often these applications have been pushing extreme performance of materials to an unprecedented level beyond traditional limits. The goal of our lab is to push the boundary of energy transport beyond traditional limits by developing more effective and accurate predictive simulation methods to understand, predict and manipulate the energy transport processes in complex systems under extreme conditions. My laboratory is built on the basis of multi-scale simulations, data sciences, and experiments to solve the long-standing problems including, but are not limited to,
