Charles C. Agosta

Charles C. Agosta is a Professor of Physics at Clark University and CEO/co-founder of Machflow Energy, Inc. His research focuses on superconductivity in extreme magnetic fields, renewable energy systems, and heat transfer technologies. He earned his Ph.D. from Duke University (1986) and B.A. from Wesleyan University (1980).

Research interests include studying anisotropic conducting materials under extreme conditions (e.g., 51 T magnetic fields) to probe Fermi surfaces and correlated electron phenomena such as superconductivity. His group develops advanced instrumentation like pulsed magnetic field labs and the Tunnel Diode Oscillator technique. Machflow Energy’s Bernoulli heat pump, funded by Kleiner Perkins and the DOE, uses environmentally safe refrigerants for energy-efficient thermal management.

Recent work includes NSF-funded studies on organic superconductors' FFLO states and DC microgrid implementations. Agosta teaches core physics courses and leads projects like the Clark NanoGrid. He holds six patents for heat transfer innovations and has over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
