As an Undergraduate Researcher at the Shimadzu Institute Nanotechnology Research Center, I conducted comprehensive thermal management research for semiconductor photonics devices under Professor Zhou Weidong. I performed advanced thermal simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics and ANSYS to optimize heat sink geometries and laser diode cooling systems, demonstrating that straight fin designs achieve 28°C lower temperatures than wavy patterns under 40W loading. My research established critical design guidelines for high-power photonic devices.

Highlights
Straight-fin heat sinks achieved 28°C lower temperatures than wavy patterns under 40W loading.
Larger apertures improved laser diode thermal performance: 1.0mm aperture reached 6.12°C/W vs. 48.87°C/W for 0.2mm.
Compared multiple heat sink configurations and laser diode aperture sizes to establish quantitative thermal performance metrics.
