To design and optimize high performance two-phase cooling systems, including microchannels and spray cooling, to manage significant heat from advanced spacecraft electronics.
To identify and develop the optimal passive cooling system design, including material choices and liquid properties, for space electronics.
To build a facility and generate critical data to characterize propellant tank thermodynamics, ultimately leading to more efficient utilization of cryogenic propellants and better propulsion system design.
To create ultra-fast, accurate Reduced Order Models that can predict spacecraft thermal behaviour in seconds or milliseconds, compared to hours for traditional high-fidelity simulations.
