About

The Thermofluids Research Laboratory (TF-LAB) at York University advances the science and engineering of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics to enable better thermal energy transport, exchange, and conversion technologies.

We deliver applied, industry-relevant research that translates fundamental understanding into practical solutions for real-world thermal challenges spanning energy systems, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation cooling technologies.

TF-LAB is built around cutting-edge experimental design, rigorous measurement, and technology development—connecting scientific insight with engineering outcomes. We collaborate widely with academic and industrial partners to accelerate impact and ensure relevance.

TF-LAB partners with organizations across sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications/ICT, and more to help develop knowledge and technology that strengthens and future-proofs Canadian industry.
