Research summary
AI-generated

Dudong Feng works on how heat moves and radiates at very small (nanoscale) distances, including near-field radiative heat transfer, thermophotovoltaic and thermoradiative energy devices, and radiative cooling materials that manage temperature without using electricity. Much of the recent work combines first-principles physics (predicting how atoms and phonons scatter heat and light) with machine learning to design new materials and coatings, such as colored radiative cooling paints and advanced thermal management films.
