Undergraduate Student Projects
The Laboratory for Multiphase Thermofluidics and Surface Nanoengineering offers experimental, theoretical, and numerical topics for semester projects. The topics are related to current research activities in our lab and a list of open ones can be found below. If you are interested in a topic, we encourage you to contact the advisor of it.
We are always looking to mentor and work with highly motivated students for their theses and projects. Interested students should check our Research page for an up to date list of the projects we are offering and also apply here.
Teaching
ME 40: Thermodynamics
This course introduces the scientific principles that deal with energy conversion among different forms, such as heat, work, internal, electrical, and chemical energy. The physical science of heat and temperature, and their relations to energy and work, are analyzed on the basis of the four fundamental thermodynamic laws (zeroth, first, second, and third). These principles are applied to various practical systems, including heat engines, refrigeration cycles, air conditioning, and chemical reacting systems.
ME 292 E: Advanced Special Topics in Energy Science and Technology (Next Generation Data Centers and Energy Management Systems)
This 292 series covers current topics of research interest in energy science and technology.
