The electrification across applications in automotive, defense and aerospace industries is pushing the limits of existing thermal management systems, and future designs will require new engineering solutions for meeting even larger heat loads. Additionally, there is a constant need to advance designs for light-weighting, highly-efficiency, and space-saving technologies. The increases in thermal loads pose significant challenges to designs of thermal management systems.
Novel combinations of materials microfabrication techniques and additive manufacturing techniques are being investigated in our laboratory. This includes microfabrication work on materials like silicon and silicon carbide and additive manufacturing techniques on silicon nitride to design innovative solutions in thermal management. With these solutions, we are trying to to reduce the mass and volume of existing systems while meeting the high heat dissipations needs of future systems.
