About Us
We design, fabricate, and use tools for thermal and thermomechanical processing at micrometer and nanometer length scales. Our research involves the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoimprint lithography for thermal and thermomechanical modification of surfaces. This work lies at the intersection of thermal transport science, materials science, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Because we form nanometer-scale modifications with MEMS tools, this work can be thought of as a 'top-down' nanotechnology, where individual nanometer-scale physical phenomena are actuated and sensed via micromachined transducers.
The Nanoscale Thermal Processing Laboratory is directed by Professor William P. King of the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Our activities are located in Rooms 51, 53, and 120 of the Mechanical Engineering Building (MEB), and in the various micro/nanofabrication facilities across campus.
