About
Our lab was founded within the CMU Mechanical Engineering Department by Prof. Sheng Shen. We are a highly interdisciplinary research group with a broad range of expertise in thermal and optical measurements, material synthesis, device fabrication, and theoretical modelling. Our research focuses on nanophotonics, nanoscale energy transport and conversion, nanofabrication and advanced manufacturing, and their applications in light sources and devices, infrared sensing and detection, thermal management, thermal emission control, solar or thermal energy conversion, and others. We are grateful for sponsorship, past and present, from ARL, DARPA, DOE, DTRA, NASA, NSF, and ONR.
