Professor Henry Receives The 2018 Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer
August 1, 2018 | by memagazinedigital.org
“The Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer, established in 2003, recognizes an engineer who is committed to pursuing research in heat transfer and demonstrates the potential to make significant contributions in the field.
Asegun Henry, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, is recognized for introducing and formulating phonon transport based on correlation instead of scattering; and for developing high-temperature concentrated solar power based on liquid metals with a ceramic infrastructure.
Dr. Henry’s achievements include many firsts—from developing formalisms termed the Green-Kubo modal analysis method and the interface conductance modal analysis method to demonstrating the first all ceramic mechanical pump that can pump liquid metal at temperatures of > 1350º C.”
