Prof. Vaibhav Bahadur (VB) is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UT Austin. His research interests are in the areas of phase change, surface science, microfluidics, and energy systems. Prof. Bahadur’s research is targeted at a fundamental understanding of microscale thermal-fluid-particle transport phenomena with applications in energy, water and environmental protection. Specific areas targeted by Dr. Bahadur’s research include phase change heat transfer enhancement (boiling, condensation, freezing), thermal management, waste energy-based water harvesting, and oil & gas – relevant flow assurance phenomena.
Prof. Bahadur has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and a Postdoc from Harvard University. Additionally, he has 4 years industry R&D experience in GE Global Research and Baker Hughes. Prof. Bahadur is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award (2017), the SPE Petroleum Engineering Young Faculty Award (2015), the ACS Doctoral New Investigator Award (2014) and the Google Faculty Research Award (2018). He is the winner of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s R&D Competition at SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (2014). Prof. Bahadur has more than 60 journal/conference articles (h-index of 19), 3 patents and 6 pending patent applications. His research has been featured on the cover of ASME’s Mechanical Engineering magazine and ACS Nano, and in R&D magazine.
