Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports research to advance fundamental understanding of heat transfer at liquid-vapor interfaces through integrated multiscale modeling and advanced optical characterization techniques. The project will develop mechanistic models bridging quantum-mechanical interactions to macroscopic heat transfer behavior and employ non-invasive in-situ optical metrology, including interferometric scattering microscopy and confocal micro-Raman thermometry, to measure heat flux and temperature gradients across nanometer-thick liquid-vapor interfaces with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. Beyond research deliverables, the project incorporates educational and workforce development components aligned with NSF Engineering program priorities. Cornell will develop hands-on engineering projects for classroom instruction, host undergraduate researchers, and engage the public through science and technology workshops. The research findings are intended to establish design principles for high-performance phase change systems applicable to critical applications including power generation, microelectronic chip cooling, water purification, and air conditioning systems. The work will be conducted at Cornell University's Ithaca, New York campus.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
