 | Dr. Suresh Garimella is the R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. He received his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley, his MS from the Ohio State University and his Bachelor’s degree from Indian Institute of Technology Madras. He founded and directs the National Science Foundation Cooling Technologies Research Center to address the needs of a wide range of companies in thermal management and energy efficiency. His research interests include thermal microsystems, energy efficiency in computing and electronics, micro- and nano-scale transport phenomena, high-performance compact cooling technologies, solar thermal energy storage, and materials processing. Dr. Garimella has worked with a large group of graduate students and visiting scholars and post-docs, twelve of whom are now in faculty positions at top schools around the world. He has co-authored over 350 refereed journal and conference publications, besides editing or contributing to a number of books. Dr. Garimella serves in editorial capacities with Applied Energy, ASME Thermal Science and Engineering, International Journal of Micro and Nanoscale Transport and Experimental Heat Transfer, and previously with ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, Heat Transfer-Recent Contents and Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. His efforts in research and engineering education have been recognized with the 2009 ASME Allan Kraus Thermal Management Award, 2009 Harvey Rosten Award for Excellence, 2004 ASME Gustus L. Larson Memorial Award; K16 Clock Award from the ASME; 2009 Purdue University Distance Teaching Award. Dr. Garimella is also a Fellow of the Center for Smart Interfaces at the Technical University of Darmstadt, and an Honorary Guest Professor at Xi’an JiaoTong University in China, and was Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of New South Wales in 1995. |
