Research summary
AI-generated

Aalok U. Gaitonde works on measuring and engineering how heat moves through advanced materials, including boron nitride nanotube fabrics, thin films, and buried interfaces in electronics and batteries. Much of the recent work develops and refines laser-based measurement techniques (the Ångstrom method) and coatings to improve thermal conductivity and durability of these materials. This research is relevant to students interested in experimental thermal metrology, nanomaterials, and applications in electronics cooling and battery design.
