This federal Project Grant award of $448,134 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the development of methods to theoretically design and experimentally realize a new class of periodic 1D and 2D thermal metamaterials. Professors David J. Masiello from the University of Washington, Stephan Link from Rice University, and Katherine A. Willets from Temple University are collaborating on this research to enable improved control of heat flow and temperature at the nanoscale. The project aims to address the challenge of depositing and maintaining thermal energy within small spatial regions, which becomes increasingly difficult as material sizes are reduced to the 10-100 nanometer range. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025.
