Timothy S. Fisher works in mechanical and materials engineering, focusing on how heat moves through and is managed in advanced materials and devices. His recent work covers cooling systems for high-power computer chips and hypersonic vehicle surfaces, methane conversion into hydrogen and carbon materials using heat, and heat transfer in materials like graphite composites and heat pipes. Students in his group would likely engage with experimental and computational studies of thermal management, energy conversion, and advanced carbon-based materials.
