In Celebration

Professor Yogesh Jaluria on his 70th Birthday

Professor Yogesh Jaluria celebrates his 70th birthday this year.
He is highly regarded and well-respected in the heat transfer community for his technical expertise, leadership, exemplary mentorship, and equally, for his kindness and willingness to help others.
Through the years, he has served the community in a variety offunctions, aided colleagues and students, and mentored countlessindividuals. One of Professor Jaluria’s endearing qualities is thelevel of interest he takes in supporting the heat transfer community, his professional colleagues and the students. It is extremelyrare to meet somebody so scientifically prepared, competent andbright, and at the same time kind, available and always friendly.
We are honored to have Professor Jaluria as a colleague. This celebratory note will briefly summarize Professor Jaluria’s professional
and personal activities during the past ten years, since the publication of the article on the occasion of his 60th birthday (Int. J. Heat
Mass Transfer, 52: 5283, 2009).
Professor Jaluria has remained highly prolific during these pastten years. He is currently Board of Governors Professor and Distinguished Professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, in
the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. He served
as Chairman of his department during 2005–2011, and as Interim
Dean of Engineering during 2008–2009. He received his B.S. degreefrom the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India, standing firstin the Graduating class. He obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University. He worked atAT&T Bell Laboratories, Princeton, and at the Indian Institute ofhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2019.03.038

Technology Kanpur (IITK), before joining Rutgers University in
1980. At IITK he was the first faculty member to establish anundergraduate elective course on computational heat transfer. By
engaging undergraduate students in contemporary heat transfer
research topics on the environment, manufacturing, and solar
thermal processes, he motivated several to pursue research andacademic careers.
Professor Jaluria has always felt greatly indebted to his Ph.D.
advisor, Professor B. Gebhart, who introduced him to heat transfer
and to natural convection in particular. He had very enjoyable andinstructive interactions with him over many years, even after hisPh.D., learning from his deep physical insight and impressive
knowledge. He was a co-author with Prof. Gebhart on the book
Buoyancy-Induced Flows and Transport, which has been extensively
referenced and used around the world.
Professor Jaluria has continued to organize international conferences and serve the international heat transfer and fluids communities. In 2014, Professor Jaluria co-founded the American Societyof Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE), an international organization that brings thermal and fluids researchers together andfocuses on industry, international collaboration and young
researchers entering the field. He currently serves as President ofASTFE. Most recently, Professor Jaluria has chaired several notableconferences, including the 7th International Symposium onAdvances in Computational Heat Transfer (Naples, Italy, 2017),
the 6th International Symposium on Advances in Computational
Heat Transfer (Rutgers University, 2015), the 4th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer International Conference (HongKong, 2013), and served as Executive Committee Chair and Technical Program Chair for the 14th International Heat Transfer Conference (Washington, DC, 2010). He served as Chair of the ExecutiveCommittee, International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer(ICHMT), Turkey during 2015–2017, and is currently Member ofthe Executive Committee. He served as Chair of the ASME HeatTransfer Division Executive Committee (2003–2004), and heserved as the Editor of the Journal of Heat Transfer (2005–2010)
and Computational Mechanics (2003–2005). He was instrumentalin starting a new ASME journal, the Journal of Thermal Scienceand Engineering Applications, which is focused on applied areasand is doing very well. He is on the Editorial Boards of several
international journals.
He is the author/co-author of nine books in the areas of naturalconvection, computational methods, design, optimization andmaterials processing. All of these books have received outstanding
reviews and the two books on Natural Convection have beentranslated into Russian, expanding their impact in Eastern Europe.
