Nanoengineering Multiphase/Interfacial Energy Transport Laboratory (NovaNano)
This lab mainly deals with many issues emerging in the fields of mass and energy transport in nanoengineering systems, which is due to the rapid development of nanotechnology and science. Our purpose is to pursue the deep understanding of the fundamental principles and applications of the novel phenomena in nanoscale, such as thermomagnetic conversion, interfacial phenomena, multiphase mass/heat transfer in the mulitscale domain from nanoscale up to macroscale in newly developed hierarchical structures.
Publications
The members of the NovaNano Lab strive for excellence in research and strongly believe in the utmost importance of disseminating their findings through publications in various venues.
