Hussam Jouhara is an academic and researcher at Brunel University London, specializing in thermal engineering and heat transfer technologies. He is the chair of thermal engineering, editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Thermofluids, and leads the Heat Pipe and Thermal Management Research Group.

With extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing heat exchangers, Jouhara has made significant contributions to energy efficiency and waste heat recovery across various industries.[1]

Career

[edit]

Jouhara obtained his PhD in mechanical engineering from The University of Manchester in 2004. He then progressed at Brunel University London in various roles until he became a senior lecturer, and then associate professor in July 2016. He became a professor at Brunel in October 2018.[citation needed] Throughout his career, he has been recognized with several professional certifications and fellowships, including Chartered Engineer status and fellowships from multiple engineering institutions.[citation needed] In 2017, he was awarded the Energy, Environment and Sustainability Group Prize by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for his work in developing more efficient energy systems.[2] Most recently, in 2024, Professor Jouhara was appointed as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a prestigious recognition of his contributions to the field.[citation needed]

Research

[edit]

Jouhara's research output is extensive, particularly in the areas of waste heat recovery and energy efficiency. One of his most highly cited papers is titled "Waste heat recovery technologies and applications," published in 2018. This review has garnered over 1,000 citations and explores various technologies for recovering waste heat across different industries, highlighting their practical applications and benefits.[3]

Another work is "Municipal solid waste management and waste-to-energy in the context of a circular economy and energy recycling in Europe," published in 2017.[4] This paper discusses how waste-to-energy processes can be integrated into the circular economy framework within Europe, emphasizing sustainable practices.[5] In addition to these publications, Jouhara authored "Heat pipe-based systems: Advances and applications," which has been cited over 500 times. This paper provides an overview of heat pipe technologies and their diverse applications in thermal management systems.[citation needed]
