His group studies the fundamental physics of energy and mass transport from the molecular and nano-scale, using theories, simulations, data-driven approaches and experiments. They apply the knowledge toward engineering materials with tailored thermal properties, thermal management of electronics, improving efficiency of energy devices, designing molecules and system for water desalination, high-sensitivity bio-sensing, and additive manufacturing.
