Research Overview

The Kingston Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University is a diverse and vibrant team with primary research interests in energy transport and conversion processes involving electrochemistry, multiphase flows and/or heat transfer.

Our Latest News

PhD student Kawkab Ahasan presented his research focused on the collection of aerosolized biothreats using multiphase microfluidics at the SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing conference in Orlando, FL.

Mechanical engineering assistant professor, Todd Kingston, and associate professor, Cary Pint, have received the Research Award from NASA EPSCoR with total support nearing $1,000,000 to investigate the fundamental processes in lithium-ion batteries during extreme thermal conditions, such as freeze-thaw cycles often encountered by spacecraft during lunar and Martian exploration.
