Capable of simulating up to 5000 suns of concentrated solar irradiation, the DaTA Lab high-flux solar simulator consists of 4 metal halide lamps on adjustable frames. An optics table sits at the point of concentration, where various reactors can be fitted to receive the radiation from the lamps. As the flagship equipment of the DaTA Lab, the high-flux solar simulator is used in many projects to simulate large heat fluxes with a wavelength spectrum similar to solar irradiation.

Nearly 900 square feet of lab space is available for students and faculty to assemble, test and store prototypes and experiments. The work space includes an electronics work station with soldering and power, extensive fabrication space, fume hood, and an inert glove box.

DaTA lab computational infrastructure includes 33 cores of processing power split between 13 computing machines. Two "super computers" each contain 10 cores that are accessed remotely by students and faculty to run resource-intensive codes and programs. There are 11 additional machines available for students to use in their daily word processing, CAD and basic coding.
