Professor Sung Jin Kim's research lab specializes in thermal management and heat transfer enhancement in electronic cooling systems, with a focus on microchannel heat sinks, finned heat sinks, and advanced thermal modeling. The lab investigates innovative design optimization techniques—such as porous medium modeling and numerical simulation—to minimize thermal resistance and improve thermal performance. Their work bridges experimental validation with predictive modeling, contributing to the development of high-efficiency thermal solutions for electronics and power systems. The lab also develops empirical correlations for friction factor and Nusselt number to support practical heat sink design.

Abstract Since the pioneering introduction of the microchannel heat sink by Tuckerman and Pease [Citation1], many investigators have studied heat transfer phenomena within these heat sinks. Their efforts have been aimed at presenting an optimized structure for the microchannel heat sink. This paper presents three optimization methods by which the thermal resistance of the microchannel heat sink can be minimized: the fin model, the porous medium model, and the numerical optimization method.
