The Nanostructured Energy Systems Laboratory (NESLab) was pleased to host a visit from Northrop Grumman. During the visit, the team toured the laboratory facilities, discussed ongoing research activities, and explored potential areas for collaboration.

We are proud to share that Dr. Suhas Tamvada has earned his PhD degree from NES Labs. On May 1st, 2024, he was officially hooded by Prof. Moghaddam at the spring commencement ceremony which was attended by his family and friends. Congratulations to Dr. Tamvada on his accomplishment!  

NESL-PhD-Recruiting We are excited to announce two new open PhD positions!  The projects available are in the field of Mechanical Engineering with a focus on fluid mechanics and heat transfer. These positions are part of the groundbreaking ARPA-E COOLERCHIPS project, funded by the US Department of Energy (DoE), aiming to revolutionize cooling technologies for next-generation […]

Rohit Bhagwat represented NESLabs at this year’s AHR Expo in Atlanta, GA and presented our work on ionic liquid based dehumidification system after several years of missed conferences due to COVID. Rohit showcased his team’s work on experimentally testing a one-of-a-kind ionic liquid based absorption system with single and double effect.

Our new publication introduces a technology to effectively cool chips

Our work on critical heat flux during pool boiling is featured on the MAE news! Here, we showed that with the correct hydrodynamic conditions, the maximum heat flux during boiling is in fact 4 times the hydrodynamic limit.

Check out our latest paper on characterization of annular flow in microchannel flow boiling! Through high-res temperature mapping on the order of 0.1 ms, we show that intermittent dryout occurs due to thin film evaporation.
