Dr. Gabriel Jaffe is a physicist and computational scientist. His recent work has delved into the mechanisms governing the flow of heat and energy at the atomic scale, including phonon interface scattering, tunable thermal emission using metamaterials, and laser sail design. Dr. Jaffe has published papers in prestigious academic journals, given talks at APS and MRS conferences, and worked with groups spanning solid state physics, biophysics, astronomy, chemistry, materials science, and electrical and mechanical engineering. Before joining TACC in August 2024, Gabriel completed postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
