ENHANCING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYMERS

PREDICTING INTERFACIAL THERMAL CONDUCTANCE IN ANISOTROPIC MATERIALS

I developed a new framework for calculating the interfacial thermal conductance using the diffuse mismatch model (DMM).
I computed phonon dispersion relations by conducting first-principle DFT simulations in Quantum Espresso and ShengBTE.
I engineered a new code in Matlab to calculate the transmission coefficient using exact full dispersion curves and therefore predict the thermal conductance.

🌟 Boosted accuracy of thermal resistance prediction by 60% for 7 different material interfaces by spearheading a new framework to be used in applications such as optoelectronics, thermoelectric devices, and electronics packaging.
