Leading a research team that is developing new materials and technologies, such as a more efficient way to desalinate water; conducting research on leveraging electron properties to predict phonon properties using transfer learning; involved in an experiment sent to the space station which could lead to more effective early cancer screenings.
Research Experience
Currently serves as the Dorini Family Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, with a concurrent appointment in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame; also a fellow at the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies.
Background
Research interests include exploring the fundamental physics of energy and mass transport from the molecular and nano-scale, applying this knowledge to design materials with tailored thermal properties, thermal management of electronics, improving efficiency of energy devices, designing molecules and systems for water desalination and high-sensitivity bio-sensing.
