Rate My Professor Ankur Jain

Jain's research specializes in microscale thermal transport, electrochemical energy conversion including thermal management of lithium-ion batteries, heat transfer in three-dimensional integrated circuits, additive manufacturing, and bioheat transfer. His work integrates experimental and modeling approaches and has secured approximately $2.5 million in funding from NSF, DOE, ONR, and industry sources. Key publications include 'Measurement of anisotropic thermophysical properties of cylindrical Li-ion cells' (Journal of Power Sources, 2014), 'Heat generation rate measurement in a Li-ion cell at large C-rates through temperature and heat flux measurements' (Journal of Power Sources, 2015), 'A review of recent research on heat transfer in three-dimensional integrated circuits (3-D ICs)' (IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology, 2021), and the book 'Heat Transfer and Thermal Management for Li-ion Batteries' (World Scientific Press, 2021). Jain has earned numerous honors, including Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (2022) for contributions to heat transfer research and education, NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award (2016), Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Excellence in Teaching Award (2018), University of Texas at Arlington College of Engineering Outstanding Early Career Award (2017), and President's Award for Excellence in Teaching (Tenured) (2022). He serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technologies (since 2013), ASME Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (since 2018), and Microelectronics Reliability (since 2020), and chairs the ASME K-16 Committee on Heat Transfer in Electronics Equipment.
