Recently, radiative cooling has been attracting scientific interest as it is a passive method to cool down surfaces and objects on Earth. Usually, no power is needed and no moving parts are involved to take advantage of the effect. This effect is based on an atmospheric window that allows radiation in the wavelength range of 8-13 µm to be released into the cold space surrounding our planet.
The project is looking for a student that can help explore the concept from analytical and experimental fronts. Among the activities that we envision the student participating in, are:
- to review state of the art in radiative cooling,
-to create a mathematical model to simulate the effect,
-to perform experimental validation model, and
-to explore experimentally the effect of surface modifications.
Strong motivation and the willingness to learn some basic programing, instrumentation, data processing, along with the hands-on efforts to manufacture (3D print) components of the experimental setup is expected.

Giving mentees’ ownership of their work and promoting accountability
As a student myself, I understand how important it is for someone in search of knowledge to have ownership of their own work. By being the owner of his/her own work, the mentee can establish a strong foundation for research. The idea is that student can use the skills he/she is bringing, while he/she can develop some other skills needed to complete the tasks. As a mentor, I plan to meet regularly with the student to check on his/her progress, while giving him/her instructions about where to go for next steps. He/she is also going to be an active participant of those decisions, based on the fact that this exploratory process is an opportunity for him/her to lead him/her own work.
