Imaging and Control of Heat Generation at the Nanoscale Using Plasmonic Structures
… the ability of plasmonic structures to heat small volumes at nanometer scale using visible and infrared light is not fully quantified while there have been some applications for it such as heat assisted magnetic recording. In this work, I present the first realization of heat generation …

Low-cost, high performance solar vapor generation
… reduces the temperature drop between the heat generation site and the evaporation surface, increasing the evaporation rate. This thesis first explores the vapor generation mechanisms in nanofluid-based solar vapor generation, and develops a small-scale nanofluid-based solar receiver that …
