Research Interests

http://wang.faculty.asu.edu/

My research group is an interdisciplinary nanoengineering team that focuses on manipulating material properties for thermal energy applications. Some of our focus areas are thermoelectric power generation, thermal storage media, heat transfer, and phonon optics. To achieve our objectives, we custom-design materials using colloidal nanoparticles, chemical precursors, and nanocomposites.
