Welcome!
The Flux Lab delves into the intriguing transport phenomena, described by three parameters: flux (which also lends our group its name!), potential gradient, and resistance. To illustrate, consider the heat transfer, where the heat flux resulting from the temperature gradient and thermal resistance. Similarly, fluid flow, diffusion, and the ionic current density are associated with pressure, concentration, and voltage gradients, respectively. We explore and tailor diverse transport phenomena, with innovative interface and material engineering, to tackle the pressing challenges in energy, electronics, and space applications.

☀️🔬 Congratulations to Erol and Craig for successfully completing the Student Science Training Program (SSTP)!
SSTP is a prestigious summer research program that gives high school students the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research at the University of Florida. This summer, Erol and Craig joined the Flux Lab to work on thermal switches. Erol conducted a techno-economic analysis of thermal switch designs, while Craig investigated the impact of surface roughness on thermal contact resistance. Philip served as their primary mentor throughout the program, and Reza provided an excellent introduction to cryogenic phase-change heat transfer and its behavior in microgravity.
Well done, Erol and Craig!
