{{Short description|American mechanical engineer}} {{Use mdy dates|cs1-dates=ly|date=August 2024}} {{Use list-defined references|date=August 2024}} {{CS1 config|mode=cs2}} '''Amy Marie Marconnet''' is an American mechanical engineer and an expert in heat transfer, especially for nanoscale materials. She is a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. Her research has included the development of graphene-based tunable thermal climate control systems for batteries and electronics,{{r|thermal}} and the effects of heat in straightening hair.{{r|hair}}

==Education and career== Marconnet studied mechanical engineering as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, graduating in 2007. She went to Stanford University for graduate study in mechanical engineering, earned a master's degree in 2009, and completed her Ph.D. in 2012.{{r|mtec-people}} Her doctoral dissertation, ''Thermal phenomena in nanostructured materials & devices'', was supervised by Kenneth E. Goodson.{{r|diss}}

After postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she joined the Purdue University faculty in 2013.{{r|mtec-people}} She was promoted to full professor in Purdue's School of Mechanical Engineering 2024.{{r|full-promo}} At Purdue, she is also a Perry Academic Excellence Scholar and holds a courtesy appointment in the School of Materials Engineering.{{r|thermal}}

==Recognition== In 2017, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Electronics and Photonics Packaging Division named Marconnet as their Woman Engineer of the Year.{{r|wey}} In 2020 she received the Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer of the ASME Heat Transfer Division, "for the development of a creative, interdisciplinary approach to evaluate, understand and control the physical mechanisms governing the thermal transport properties of materials, machines and systems".{{r|imece-20}} She was elected as an ASME Fellow in 2022.{{r|asme-fellow}}
