ME-469: Nano-scale heat transfer

Summary

In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunities in nanoengineering energy devices.
