Shen Xu has won the Iowa State University Research Excellence
Award (2014) for her excellent work during his Ph.D. study. Shen has
been involved in a large number of projects and has played a key
role in our research on optical based thermal probing and
characterization.

Jingchao Zhang has won the Iowa State University Research
Excellence Award (2013) for his excellent work during his Ph.D. study. This
university-level award recognizes graduate students for their
outstanding work. In the past, Yanan Yue of our lab (now associate
professor at Wuhan University, China) also won this award upon his
graduation.

Xiaoduan Tang, Jingchao Zhang, and Guoqing Liu have successfully
defended their Ph.D. thesis. All of them have made break-through
contributions to our lab in areas of near-field optics, Raman
thermal probing, energy transport in graphenes, and energy transport
and structural effects in proteins. Congratulations to all of them!

A new advance
has been made in our lab by Huan Lin on thermal transport in
metallic films down to 1 nm thickness (0.64 nm average thickness). Our novel technology provides a
robust and very advanced approach to characterizing the Lorenz
number of nanoscale metallic films. (Small,
