Quantitative measurements of temperature using laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy in reacting and non-reacting flows
… the development and application of laser induced thermal grating spectroscopy (LITGS) as a tool for thermometry in reacting and non-reacting flows. LITGS signals, which require resonant excitation of an absorbing species in the measurement region to produce a thermal grating, are acquired for …

Expanding ultrafast photoacoustics for investigation of mechanical properties and thermal transport
… for studying mechanical properties and thermal phonons. Next, thermal conductivity reduction due to carrier-phonon interactions was presented. Phonon contributions are critical in heat transport in semiconductors and insulators. To isolate the carrier contributions to the scattering …

Variational approach to solving the phonon Boltzmann transport equation for analyzing nanoscale thermal transport experiments
… dissipate the heat generated for proper thermal management of computer chips. The ability to understand the physics of thermal transport in this regime is critical in order to model, engineer, and improve the performance of materials and devices. In the nanoscale regime, thermal transport …

Observation and manipulation of the wave nature of phonon thermal transport through superlattices
… the importance of understanding nanoscale thermal transport has grown. In this thesis, we investigate thermal transport through superlattices (SLs), periodic layers of thin films, to better understand thermal conduction at these small scales. The classical picture of nanoscale thermal …
