About Jader Barbosa

As a professor at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) and a lab head/supervisor at Polo - Research Laboratories for Emerging Technologies in Cooling and Thermophysics, I have over 17 years of experience in teaching, researching, and leading projects in the fields of Fluids Engineering and Thermal Sciences. My mission is to advance the knowledge and innovation in these areas, especially in Thermodynamics of Mixtures, Phase Change, Multiphase Flows, Geoenergy Engineering, Enhanced Heat Transfer and Emerging Cooling Technologies.I have published more than 300 scientific papers in indexed journals and international peer-reviewed conferences, and advised/co-advised 45 theses/dissertations, six of which have received academic awards. I am also a member of the Scientific Council of the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) and President of the Assembly of World Conferences on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics. I currently serve as Subject Editor of Applied Thermal Engineering (Elsevier). I am a former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering (Springer).I am passionate about collaborating with other researchers, institutions, and industries to foster the development and application of sustainable geoenergy systems and cooling technologies that can improve the efficiency and performance of various systems and processes.
