Congrats to Rebeca Gurrola and Carlos Lago who both successfully defended their PhD’s!

PHATE group is selected to research elastocaloric effect materials with NASA ESI23 program. Together with Dr. Antao, Dr. Karaman, Dr. Arroyave, and NASA collaborator Dr. Nick Bruno, the team will co-design elastocaloric effect alloys for high gravimetric system energy densities.

Congrats to the newly minted Dr. Adelaide Bradicich!  Wishing you the best of luck on your journey forwards.

PHATE group presents recent progress on barocaloric materials, thermal energy storage materials, and on nonlinear electronic devices based on VO2.  Great job Rebeca and Denali!

Thanks to Dr. Patrick Baker, Director of Army Research Labs for visiting our lab to hear about our successes in the areas of high temperature materials and thermal management. Game changing technologies on behalf of our nation’s defense.

PHATE group members Sourav Chakravarty, Carlos Lago, Denali Ibbotson, and Sarah McQuaid presented their recent progress at Spring 2023 TMS in San Diego. Great job, team!

Congrats!  Looking forward to learning about phase change dynamics over the next phase of your dissertation research.

Prof. S and PhD student Sourav Chakravarty contemplated heat transfer processes at the Micro- Nano phase change Gordon Research Conference in Lucca, Italy.  Great job presenting your work on hybrid desorption TES, Sourav!
