Professor John Thome: PROFESSOR OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER, SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

John R. Thome is Professor of Heat and Mass Transfer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland since 1998. He is the author of five books and has published widely (over 50 journal papers in the past three years) on the fundamental aspects of microscale and macroscale two-phase flow and boiling/condensation heat transfer and micro-two-phase cooling systems. He has proposed over 100 two-phase flow and heat transfer prediction methods applicable to macro and micro scale processes, including his wide used flow pattern based methods. His editor-in-chief of the newly published 8-volume series Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow with 57 contributing authors. Among his various awards, these include the ASME 1998 Journal of Heat Transfer Best Paper Award and the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award.
