About

Dr. Sameer Khandekar is a leading figure in thermal and fluid sciences, whose work bridges fundamental transport phenomena with cutting-edge engineering applications. His research focuses on two-phase heat transfer, microfluidics, and the unique behavior of ferrofluids—magnetic nanofluids with transformative potential. In his highly cited review, "Engineering applications of ferrofluids: A review" (2021, 269 citations), Dr. Khandekar systematically mapped the diverse uses of these smart fluids, from advanced thermal management systems to biomedical devices and energy harvesting. This seminal work has become a cornerstone reference, guiding researchers in leveraging ferrofluid dynamics for real-world solutions. Beyond this review, his contributions extend to pioneering studies on pulsating heat pipes and droplet-based microfluidics, where he has elucidated complex interfacial phenomena. With a career spanning over two decades, Dr. Khandekar’s impact is reflected in thousands of citations, underscoring his role in shaping modern heat transfer and nanofluid research. His work not only advances academic understanding but also drives innovation in electronics cooling, renewable energy, and lab-on-chip technologies, making him a vital mentor for students and a collaborator for industry.
