An experimental <condensed matter physicist> who coauthored a major analysis of <thermal boundary resistance>. An interface can impede heat flow even when both adjoining materials conduct well, because energy-carrying excitations transmit imperfectly across it. Comparing acoustic and diffuse mismatch models connects a measured temperature discontinuity to the microscopic behavior of <phonons>.<Thermal boundary resistance by E. T. Swartz and Robert Otto Pohl>[Abstract: helium-solid and solid-solid interfaces and mismatch models]{ref}
