Our research lies at the intersection of thermal-fluid sciences, interfacial phenomena, and surface science. We study how interfacial and bulk transport processes can be tailored to address challenges in energy conversion, thermal management, and aerospace systems operating under extreme conditions. To achieve this, we combine advanced optical flow diagnostics, thermophysical measurement techniques, and micro-fabrication methods to reveal the fundamental dynamics of interface-driven transport phenomena, in multiphase systems, and across multiple time and length scales.
