Welcome to the Nano Heat Group, which is affiliated with the School of Energy and Power Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. We focuses on the fundamental and applied research of phonon engineering, including heat transfer, thermal regulation and energy conversion in micro/nano-scale etc.

Following electronic engineering and photonic engineering, the research progress in phononics and phonon engineering has attracted much attentions. The studies in phonon engineering includes thermoelectrics, thermal diodes, thermal superstructure materials, etc.

Our studies mainly focuse, but is not limited to, the fundamental theory, simulation and measurement of heat transfer of energy carriers (such as phonons, electrons, and photons), micro/nano-scale structures, organic flexible system, desalination and evaporation/condensation.

Keywords: phonon engineering, heat conduction, thermal modulation, nanostructure, thermal rectification, interface thermal resistance, water evaporation/condensation, desalination of seawater, purification of polluted water
