In 2024 alone, for example, he was an author of more than 10 papers published in, or submitted to, top journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2023, he has contributed to eight papers presented at conferences, including a keynote paper and an award-winning paper at the International Heat Transfer Conference. Held every four years, it&#8217;s known as the &#8220;Olympics of Heat Transfer&#8221; for its high relevance in the field. He is principal investigator or a co-PI on millions of dollars&#8217; worth of grants in partnership with colleagues here, at other universities, and with industry and government agencies. He is active in his field at the international level, has been a reviewer for top journals and funding agencies\u2014and here in our college, works closely with several graduate students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 13, 2025, Dean Ian Robertson held an event to recognize engineering faculty and staff for outstanding contributions.
