Cool
MEMS Group
The
primary goal of the Cool MEMS group is the development and
demonstration of air-cooled exchangers that offer significant
reductions in thermal resistance (from case to air) and significant
reductions in the total electrical power used to force the air through
the system.

Professors
Tianhong Cui and
Terrence W. Simon have been awarded a research grant to develop "Active
Heat Sink Technology" for the cooling of electronics using the advanced
MEMS and nanotechnology. Phase I and II of this research grant from
DARPA/MTO provides $3.4 million in funding over the next four years,
two years with an anticipated extension of another two years.
