Research summary
AI-generated

Vishwanath Ganesan's research focuses on heat transfer and thermal management, particularly boiling and condensation of refrigerants and other fluids inside pipes and on engineered surfaces. Recent work applies this to practical cooling problems such as electronics immersion cooling, data center thermal management, cryogenic systems, and heat exchanger manufacturing. Much of the work involves experimentally testing surface structuring techniques (like laser texturing and chemical etching) to improve boiling and condensation heat transfer efficiency.

Publication output was low and sporadic through the late 2010s and early 2020s but has increased sharply since 2024, indicating a recent surge in research activity.
