Research heritage & selected work
CoolTek grew from years of R&D in advanced composites, thermal management, precision support structures, and scientific instrumentation. The images below show representative research-group work that illustrates that technical heritage.
Composite support structure developed for silicon-detector instrumentation in a high-radiation LHC environment, illustrating low-mass structural design, integration, and challenging-environment constraints.
Representative large-area composite development structure for particle-identification instrumentation, combining lightweight construction with precision interfaces and distributed sensor integration.
Additively manufactured sensor-support prototypes using high-thermal-conductivity material—an example of integrating thermal performance directly into mechanical hardware.
Microscopy of carbon foam joined to a three-ply carbon-fiber skin laminate, representative of low-mass detector-cooling structures where interfaces and thermal paths matter.
Microscopy of composite laminate structure at multiple length scales, supporting material/process understanding rather than treating the laminate as a black box.
Curved composite development component illustrating lightweight geometry, precision cutouts, interfaces, and fabrication-to-hardware iteration.
