About

Thermoelectric devices have been a subject to intensive investigation in recent years, thanks to rapid progress in novel materials development and discoveries of contributing topological effects. The Smart Heat Flux Sensing Platform project (SELENA) aims to develop a smart heat flux measurement solution using anisotropic mono-crystalline as well as multilayer composite materials. In collaboration with private sector partners, the project will investigate in depth the underlying physical phenomena and practical platform application, assuring its relevance to both basic research and industry. By combining numerical and experimental methods SELENA aims to deliver a complete physical model, novel sensing platform design and a scalable manufacturing process description, to forge a path for further adoption and development of thermoelectric devices.
