Utah Nano-Energy Laboratory
Welcome to the webpage of the Utah Nano-Energy Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah. The Utah Nano-Energy group focuses on research and education of nanoscale energy transport and conversion processes. Our research interests include fundamental physics of thermal, electrical, and photonic energy interactions at nanoscales, nanostructure-based energy applications, nanoscale thermophysical instrumentations, and tip-based nanoimaging and spectroscopy.
