Seungha Shin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, within the College of Engineering. He has held academic positions since 2014, starting as an Assistant Professor and advancing to his current role in 2020. His research focuses on nanoscale energy transport and conversion, particularly in graphene-based materials, heterostructures, and energy devices. He employs multiscale simulations, including ab initio and molecular dynamics, to explore thermal phenomena in nonequilibrium systems.
Dr. Shin earned his Ph.D. (2013) and M.S. (2008) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a B.S. (2003) from Seoul National University. His work bridges fundamental physics and applied engineering, addressing challenges in thermal management and energy systems. His lab, the Nanoscale Heat Transfer Laboratory, investigates topics like thermal rectification, phonon recycling, and graphene aerogel synthesis.
Key research themes include thermal transport in graphene, interface engineering, and energy conversion mechanisms. His recent publications explore high-entropy alloys, vacuum insulation glazing, and redox flow batteries. He is a member of ASME, MRS, and Phi Kappa Phi, contributing to peer review for journals like Physical Review B and AIP Advances.
His advising and grants emphasize interdisciplinary collaborations, though specific grants or student names are not detailed here. The lab also develops advanced manufacturing techniques, such as laser edge-sealing for thermal insulation, and explores nanomaterials for biomedical sensors and energy storage systems.
