معرفی
Scott Schiffres is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University's Watson School of Engineering. His research focuses on nanoscale and microscale energy transport, thermal processes in additive manufacturing, and sustainability engineering. He received the 2019 NSF CAREER Award and has secured grants from NSF, SRC, NYSERDA, and IEEC. Prior to Binghamton, he was a postdoctoral associate at MIT and holds degrees from Princeton, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon.
Education: BSE in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University (2006), MEng in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University (2007), PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2014). His postdoctoral work at MIT included collaborations with Professors Evelyn Wang and Anastasios John Hart.
Research interests span thermal metrology, energy storage, and additive manufacturing applications. His lab, the Nano-Micro Thermal Group, has pioneered work on laser metal deposition onto silicon for electronics cooling and non-destructive testing methods in additive manufacturing. Recent lab highlights include a 2022 NIST Metal AM grant and SUNY Research Foundation funding. Students and alumni have advanced to roles in industry and academia, including positions at Carrier Corporation, Honeywell, and NVIDIA.
Teaching includes courses on heat transfer, nanoscale energy transport, and additive manufacturing. Outreach activities engage K-12 students, emphasizing thermal concepts through hands-on modules like color-changing 3D printing and thermal camera demonstrations.
