Lancaster, Pennsylvania – August 11, 2014. Advanced Cooling Technologies announced today that it is continuing to expand its focus on research in advanced modeling through four recent wins of government funded R&D contracts, totaling over $600K. Over the last 5 years, ACT has been awarded $4 million in contracts in this research area.
ACT’s Advanced Modeling Research (AMR) focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of physical and chemical processes at the micron and sub-micron scale. These bottom-up multi-scale simulation approaches have the potential to link the atomistic length-scale to the product-level, offering highly accurate prediction tools. According to Dr. Tapan Desai, R&D Manager at ACT, “These awards demonstrate ACT’s depth and breadth in performing advanced modeling to develop prediction toolkits for ACT’s government and commercial customers. ACT’s advanced modeling capabilities directly benefits our customers by helping them gain a fundamental understanding of the “cause and effect” leading to high performance products with substantial cost savings”.
