Lab Overview
We study transport of heat, charge, and spin in materials by using light-matter interactions. In materials, heat is carried by all types of thermal excitations, e.g., phonons, electrons, magnons. We pursue fundamental understanding of heat transport by microscopic carriers and seek to answer the following questions: How can we tailor microscopic heat carriers to obtain desired macroscopic properties? How can we utilize heat to enhance device operations? How can we develop experimental techniques that can lead to important scientific discovery?
