Special Issue Dedicated to Professor Avi Bar-Cohen in Celebration of His 65th Birthday

We are delighted to dedicate this special issue to celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Avi Bar-Cohen. Dr. Avram Bar-Cohen is an internationally recognized leader in thermal science and technology, an Honorary member of ASME, and Fellow of IEEE, as well as Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland. His publications, lectures, short courses, and research outcomes, as well as professional service in ASME and IEEE, have helped to create the scientific foundation for the thermal management of electronic components and systems and pioneered techniques for energy-efficient sustainable design of manufactured products. His current research focuses on two-phase microgap and microchannel coolers for high heat flux electronic components, on-chip thermoelectrics for hot spot remediation, thermal control of power amplifiers and photonics, and polymer-fiber composite heat exchangers. Bar-Cohen was the general chair for the 2010 International Heat Transfer Conference in Washington DC and is...
