MTLTeam

Welcome to the Microscale Thermophysics Laboratory at UT Arlington!

We conduct experimental and theoretical research on microscale thermal transport.

Our current research interests include:

  • Thermal transport in three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs).
  • Thermal engineering of cells and biological macromolecules
  • Microscale energy conversion mechanisms
  • Nanomanufacturing

Our research is directed by Dr. Ankur Jain and our members come from various interdisciplinary backgrounds.
