What if we could measure the temperature of a single atom? In highly driven systems, can we think of temperature as being directional, T(θ,ϕ)? What does temperature even mean in such extreme conditions?... We do both experiments and modeling, and some of our best work comes at their intersection. We enjoy collaboration: within the lab group, across Berkeley and LBNL, and around the world... The Nano/Energy Research Lab at UC Berkeley, Mechanical Engineering, run by Professor Chris Dames. Our research spans a range of topics in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion. Both modeling and experiments are used to study a variety of classical and quantum size effects for improved fundamental understanding and device performance
