Phonon Transfer Simulation Mentorship Needed
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I am running a research project on phonon-based radiative heat transfer across the Silicon–Diamond thin films and I need a seasoned researcher to look over what I have, spot weaknesses, and steer my next steps. My main hurdle is the theoretical side—specifically the simulation methodology—so I want someone who is fully comfortable translating Boltzmann transport ideas into MATLAB code, troubleshooting runtime issues, and explaining the physical meaning behind the numerical trends I am seeing.
You will first review the model assumptions, boundary conditions, and material parameters I am using. From there we will meet (video or chat) to discuss any corrections or alternative formulations that could improve accuracy, stability, or computational speed. I would also appreciate concise notes connecting the simulation steps back to key literature so I can justify choices in an upcoming paper submission.
Deliverables
• Written critique of my current MATLAB model and suggested revisions
• A short, commented MATLAB script (or edits to mine) demonstrating any recommended improvements
• One follow-up Q&A session to clarify theory, numerical implementation, and result interpretation
Acceptance criteria
• Corrections are physically consistent with state-of-the-art phonon radiative transfer theory
• Supplied code runs without errors on MATLAB R2023a and reproduces at least one benchmark result we agree on up front
• Explanations are clear enough that I can independently reproduce and extend the work after our collaboration ends
If this aligns with your expertise in nanoscale heat transfer and MATLAB-based simulation, let’s connect and schedule a quick kick-off chat.
