SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Ashutosh Giri, a mechanical engineering assistant professor from the University of Rhode Island, has been awarded a three-year, $418,300 grant from the U.S. Office of Naval Research to study heat transfer within nanotechnology.
URI says Giri’s project, titled “Leveraging Novel Nanothermometries and First-principles Based Computational Frameworks to Uncover Disruptive Energy Transfer Mechanisms in Nanostructures,” will lay the foundational groundwork to understand microscopic energy carrier dynamics. It will also go beyond the conventional approach of studying the energy carrier “scattering” picture in nanoscale energy transport, the university says.

“What I am trying to facilitate is a better understanding of how we can control heat transfer in nanomaterials,” Giri said in a statement.
