Context and challenge: in high flux evaporators/condensers, impurities can quickly accumulate at the interface during the operation, causing device performance degradation.
Approach: investigate accumulation of impurities non-invasively with micro-Raman spectroscopy
Expected activities:
- Perform Raman microscopy of microporous membrane and develop data processing tool with machine learning algorithms.
- Participate in microporous chip preparation in cleanroom facility, develop CAD designs in Solidworks models to improve current experimental setup.
- Develop theoretical model of pore evaporation and validate it with COMSOL simulation.
