The Heatenergists Group (HEG) is led by Prof. Bingyang Cao (曹炳阳), dean in School of Aerospace Engineering, Tsinghua University. HEG’s research areas are mainly focused on: (1) Heat transport in nanostructures, including Non-Fourier transport effects and thermophysical properties in amorphous or heterogeneous nanomaterials of semiconductors, polymer, metals etc; (2) Thermal functional materials, such as thermal interface materials with high thermal conductivity, smart materials with tunable thermal properties, heterostructure nanomaterials in nanoelectrics or energy; (3) Thermal management technologies, i.e. simulations, measurements, design and devices in integrated circuits, energy, laser, spacecrafts etc. HEG’s research is interdisciplinary and involved in microelectronics, energy, aerospace, thermophysics, micro/nanofluidics and material sciences.
