Fix Research

Mission Statement: We strive to develop efficient thermal management and separation processes through materials synthesis/characterization, analytical modeling, and prototype demonstration.

Impact Areas: Our research is primarily oriented towards addressing water and energy problems in the built environment. More specifically, we develop technologies to improve the efficiency of cooling and dehumidifying buildings, to store thermal energy, to generate/re-use atmospheric water, to enhance the operation of industrial drying processes, and more! As global thermal management needs grow, there is a great need for innovative and efficient thermal and separation systems.
