We focus on research and education of micro/nanoscale energy transport and its engineering applications. Our research interests include (1) developing novel micro/nanoscale detection, imaging, and spectroscopic instrumentations; (2) fundamental understanding of physical and chemical phenomena at the micro/nanoscale; (3) nanoscale manufacturing; and (4) nanoscale energy conversion and storage. We perform theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, device design and fabrication, and experimental investigation.
The nature of our research is highly multidisciplinary across diverse disciplines, such as thermal engineering, microfluidics, optics, materials science, chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, and biological sciences and medicine. Our work involves the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), vibrational spectroscopies (FTIR and Raman), and micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS).
The Micro/Nanoscale Engineering Laboratory is directed by Professor Keunhan (Kay) Park of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Rhode Island.
