Rate My Professor Qaisar Raza

Dr. Md. Qaisar Raza serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Patna. He completed his PhD in 2019 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Patna, under the supervision of Dr. Rishi Raj at the Thermal and Fluid Transport Laboratory. His doctoral thesis focused on 'Pool Boiling of Foaming Solutions for Earth and Space Applications.' Prior to his current role, he was a PhD scholar at IIT Patna from 2014 to 2019. His academic career centers on advancing knowledge in thermal and fluid sciences, particularly in challenging environments such as microgravity.

Dr. Raza's research specializations include multi-phase heat transfer, boiling, and interfacial phenomena. He investigates topics such as surfactant-enhanced pool boiling, bubble dynamics, coalescence-induced jumping of bubbles in shear flow, flow boiling in microgravity, and the effects of binary surfactant mixtures on oil recovery. He has authored 19 publications, including 'Coalescence-induced jumping of bubbles in shear flow in dilute polymer solutions' (Physics of Fluids, 2023), 'Flow boiling in microgravity' (Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2024), 'Synergistic effect of binary surfactant mixture for enhanced oil recovery' (Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2025), 'Pool boiling of aqueous butanol solution on an inverted porous wick' (AIP Conference Proceedings, 2026), and 'Experimental Investigations on Hydrogel-Based Passive Cooling Systems' (Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, 2025). His work has received over 378 citations on ResearchGate and contributes to fields like thermal management and multiphase flows. As principal investigator, he leads a SERB-SRG project on 'Investigation of capillary-fed boiling in porous wick with ionic liquids and surfactants.' Additionally, he has co-organized events such as RADM-2024 and contributed to faculty development programs at NIT Patna. His publications and projects underscore his impact on boiling heat transfer research for terrestrial and space applications.
