Mission Statement
At the Energy Transport Advances Laboratory (η-Lab), we probe the fundamental physics associated with heat and mass transfer across liquid-gas interfaces. By translating these insights into design rules, we create high-performance, low-carbon-emission technologies for cooling, power generation, and clean water production. Our goal is to expand the frontier of thermal science and fluid mechanics while delivering practical solutions for a sustainable future.
