Engineering Leadership

Applied Thermoelectric Solutions was founded by Alfred Piggott, an engineer with more than 30 years of experience spanning thermoelectrics, advanced thermal management, and energy system development.

Alfred holds multiple patents in thermoelectric cooling, battery thermal management, and energy harvesting technologies. His research has been published in leading scientific journals, including award-recognized work in thermoelectric system modeling.

Throughout his career, he has supported:

High-performance thermal system development
Battery thermal architecture advancement
Energy conversion system optimization
Prototype validation and test programs
Commercialization-focused engineering initiatives

Applied Thermoelectric Solutions was established to bring this level of engineering depth to organizations advancing next-generation thermal and energy technologies.

His work has been cited in leading scientific and engineering publications, reflecting ongoing influence within the thermoelectric research community.

Our Engineering Approach

We engage where technical complexity is high and performance requirements leave little margin for error.

Our methodology emphasizes:

First-principles thermal and electrical analysis
System-level optimization rather than component-level tuning
Practical manufacturability considerations
Data-driven validation
Reliability-focused design

We operate at the intersection of research-grade analysis and deployable product engineering. The goal is not theoretical advancement alone, but measurable performance improvements in real-world systems.

Technical Focus Areas

Applied Thermoelectric Solutions has developed and continues to advance and system architectures, including:

Our engineering efforts concentrate on enabling novel solutions for higher heat flux management, improved energy recovery, and new performance capabilities in applications where conventional approaches encounter limitations.

Organizations We Support

ATS typically supports:

OEM engineering teams
Advanced product development groups
Advanced and emerging technology companies
Research institutions
Government-funded technology programs

We are most effective when engaged early in technically complex initiatives where architecture decisions materially influence long-term performance and system viability or when conventional approaches have failed.

Professional Endorsement

“Alfred’s excellent understanding of thermal hydraulic systems was invaluable while designing high-output thermoelectric liquid-liquid heat pumps. His focus on project objectives ensured performance and milestone dates were met. It is rare to find engineers with the creativity, ingenuity, and hands-on skills to realize innovative ideas to successful fruition.”
