Lívia Corrêa McCormack

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah. Under the supervision of Prof. Mathieu Francoeur, my research encompasses near-field radiative heat transfer in micro/nanostructured materials supporting surface phonon-polaritons (SPhPs).

Prior to joining the University of Utah, I received my B.Eng. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ). Working with Prof. Daniel Chalhub, I developed analytical and hybrid solutions for heat transfer problems such as 3D base–2D fins heat sinks, core–annular flow with immiscible liquids, and electronic chips with multiple hot spots.
