我们欢迎对热科学充满热情的同学与学者加入，共同探索热管理的前沿。
E-Man Lab (Physics-driven Advanced Thermal Management Materials & Design Laboratory) was founded by Prof. Man Li in October 2024 in the Department of Thermal Science and Energy Engineering at USTC. Centered on the fundamental question of how energy transports in solids, we combine first-principles computation, extreme material growth, and ultrafast laser precision metrology to build a full research chain from microscopic mechanisms to devices and systems. The lab has published over 40 SCI-indexed papers, including 20+ first/corresponding-author articles in Science, Nature Physics, Nature Electronics, Advanced Materials, and other journals, with 2,900+ citations and an H-index of 26. Our work has been featured 100+ times by over 26 international media outlets including Scientific American, and was selected as one of IEEE Spectrum's Top 10 Semiconductor Stories of 2023.
We welcome motivated students and scholars to join us in exploring the frontiers of thermal science.
