The Thermal Energy Management & Processing (TEMP) Lab at the University of Texas at Arlington explores how heat and energy flow at the nanoscale to drive innovation in microelectronics, AI hardware, and energy systems. Our research integrates materials synthesis, nanofabrication, and thermal metrology to design next-generation materials and devices that enable adaptive, efficient, and scalable thermal management.

We welcome highly motivated students who are passionate about bridging fundamental science and engineering applications. Members of the TEMP Lab gain hands-on experimental and numerical simulation experience in low-dimensional materials, phase-change devices, nanocomposites, and advanced thermal metrology, while collaborating across disciplines such as mechanical engineering, materials science, and electrical engineering.

We are a highly interdisciplinary group and welcome energetic and highly motivated scientists and engineers who are passionate about scientific innovation and technological leadership. Our group is committed to an engaging, supportive, and inclusive workplace, and we are open to new perspectives, experiences, and approaches.
