Given the computational complexity of the thermodynamically consistent models, the POR-ROM plays an important role in reducing the spatial-temporal complexity. However, the classical POD-ROM can destroy the thermodynamic structure in the reduced-order modeling approach for the systems. In this talk, we will introduce a numerical platform that can systematically derive ROMs for thermodynamically consistent PDEs while maintaining their inherent thermodynamic principles, and demonstrate its effectiveness in several numerical examples. \\
