Ken Araki, Ph.D.
I am Ken Araki, a postdoctoral researcher at the Arizona State Univerisity. I received my Bachelor from Niigata University in Mechanical Engineering in March 2019. I started my Ph.D. study in August 2019 working on thermal radiation and nanophotonics. The study is focused on tailoring the optical radiative properties of gratings and multilayers mechanically, electronically, and thermally in nanoscale. Various materials are utilized including graphene and vanadium dioxide. It is focused both on far-field and near-field thermal radiation and the applications include radiative cooling coatings, plasmonic gratings, and thermophotovoltaics. I received my Ph.D. on December, 2022.
