Biography
Dr. Sajjad Bigham is an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Michigan Technological University. He is the director of the Energy-X Lab (Energy eXploration Laboratory).
Dr. Bigham is a heat transfer and energy systems specialist interested in scientific and engineering challenges that lay at the intersection of thermal-fluid, material and energy sciences. Our lab, Energy-X (www.energyX-lab.com), is focused on understanding the fundamental transport science of important energy carriers at micro, nano and molecular scales. We designs, fabricates and examines a wide range of meso-, micro- and nano-devices/systems to understand their underlying physics and explore new technologies and performance breakthroughs.
Energy-X mission: Energy-X is a research group that specializes in energy science and technology. The increasing global demand for energy has stimulated intense research on energy conversion and storage systems. The mission of our lab is to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and economy of the process, component or system X; with X being our target technological area which spans from the energy sector to defense and environmental applications.
