Research summary

AI-generated

This researcher studies boiling and two-phase flow heat transfer, with a strong focus on how liquids boil and carry away heat in microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station, as well as in Earth-based systems like electric vehicle charging cables and micro-channel heat sinks. The work combines hands-on spaceflight and ground experiments with predictive modeling, including machine learning (artificial neural networks), to forecast when boiling systems will fail due to overheating (critical heat flux). This research supports thermal management technologies for spacecraft, electronics cooling, and high-power charging systems.
