The MHTL was established in 1984 to meet the heat transfer needs of an evolving microelectronics community. For the past 30 years, we have provided research services related to analytical modeling, materials characterization and experimental testing for a wide range of companies from start-ups to multi-nationals.

Research projects in the MHTL supported by both industry and government sources include testing and characterization of thermal interface materials, modeling and testing of thermal electric devices for power generation and heat transfer, and modeling of microscale thermal processes.
