Laser & Energy Transport Laboratory

At the Laser & Energy Transport Laboratory, we explore the fundamental and applied science of how energy—particularly in the form of lasers and heat—is transferred, transformed, and controlled across micro- and nanoscale systems. Our research spans a broad range of topics including laser-matter interactions, ultrafast laser processing, thermal transport phenomena, and the design of functional materials for extreme environments. By integrating advanced experimental techniques with data-driven modeling and machine learning, we aim to accelerate the discovery and engineering of next-generation materials and energy systems. Whether it’s developing smart manufacturing methods or enhancing energy conversion efficiency, our mission is to push the boundaries of laser-based thermal science for sustainable and high-impact technological solutions.
