Amy Fleischer
Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering
Villanova University College of Engineering
Area of Expertise:
- Designing systems that prevent overheating in computers
Summary
As next generation computers with higher power microchips downsize for greater portability they create more heat. Finding the solution to designing cooling systems that prevent overheating and allow for powerful, compact electronics is Dr. Flesicher's specialty. She is also engaged in research into the thermal management of naval electronics.
