What We Do

The Nanoscale Imaging and Transport (NIT) Lab develops thermal transport solutions for micro and nanoscale devices. The lab is located in the Engineering & Science Building (ESB) and is affiliated with the Center for Clean Energy Engineering (C2E2). NIT is part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and is under the direction of Dr. Georges Pavlidis.
