Jamil Khan

Professor Dr. Jamil Khan is the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He has been working in the field of heat transfer and fluid flow with phase change systems since the 1990's. He has been involved in enhanced heat transfer research for heat dissipation from electronic devices using both passive and active micro-channel cooling at single phase and with boiling. Dr. Khan has established the Enhanced Heat Transfer Lab in the University of South Carolina's Department of Mechanical Engineering. Computational and experimental analysis of coupled electro-thermal processes related to high temperature fuel cells; experimental, modeling and computational studies of natural convection heat transfer and fluid-flow, and related to thermal hydraulics for nuclear reactor rod bundles are the main research arenas of the Lab group comprising of graduate and undergraduate students. Dr. Khan has published more than 145 papers and has won numerous awards for Research and Teaching.
