Lab

In METTL, we are able to conduct experimentally and numerically studies. We have a wide range of various facilities, including capabilities of heat transfer measurements, flow visualizations, and CFD simulations. Also, we can fabricate various types of micro-devices on silicon and PDMS substrates in the IEN cleanroom to investigate phase change heat transfer.
