This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $350,928 Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at Purdue University on extraordinary radiative transfer through hyperbolic materials and interfaces. The grant aims to advance fundamental understanding of enhanced radiative heat transfer inside newly discovered hyperbolic materials and across material interfaces and devices. Researchers will investigate the spectral, temperature-dependent and spatial properties of radiative transport through theoretical, computational and experimental methods. Insights gained will guide thermal design and applications across photonics, electronics, energy technologies and emerging areas relying on advanced materials. The grant also supports human capital development through graduate and undergraduate student training in emerging fields, outreach to K-12 students, and integration of new research into undergraduate curricula. Outcomes have potential to impact radiation-based sensing, medical technologies, and next-generation electronic and energy devices.
