# Lab Overview & Research Focus
Our research group focuses on cross-scale energy conversion and transport regulation among light, heat, and electricity. At the fundamental level, we investigate photon–electron–phonon multiparticle coupling mechanisms governing energy transformation (photoelectric / photothermal / thermoelectric processes), establishing new paradigms for directional energy transfer through multiphysics synergistic design. On the applied frontier, leveraging precise programming of energy conversion pathways, we develop advanced intelligent thermal management technologies. Specific research thrusts include:
- Passive radiative cooling for buildings and personal use
- Thermal management of electronic devices
- Solar photothermal utilization
- Low-carbon sustainable manufacturing technologies
- Inverse design and optimization of smart materials
