TESLab develop methods and tools for design, measurement and control of thermal and energy systems. Our research focuses on multi-scale heat transfer with special emphasis on radiative transfer.  

We focus on several applications:

• Particulate medium heat transfer and their applications

• Modeling and design of functional coatings for energy, aerospace, agriculture applications

• Design, production and characterization of improved materials for energy applications and improved thermal transport

• Multi-scale modeling and characterization of thermal transport from nano-meter scales to macroscopic scales. 

• Thermal management of opto-electronic devices 

We are not only focused on contributing to the scientific literature in these applications, but also develop intellectual property and provide solutions to practical problems using computational and experimental techniques. Due to the multi-scale nature of these problems, we develop and utilize microscopic and macroscopic modeling and characterization methods. Moreover, we use novel design and characterization approaches such as inverse analysis, Bayesian framework, surrogate models based on artificial learning and search algorithms.
