Professor - RIT
Honorary Conference Chair

Dr. Satish Kandlikar is the Gleason Professor of Mechanical Engineering at RIT. He received his B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Marathawada University, India, his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay and has been a faculty there before coming to RIT in 1980. His research is mainly focused in the area of flow boiling. After investigating the flow boiling phenomena from an empirical standpoint, which resulted in widely accepted correlations for different geometries, he started to look at the problem from a fundamental perspective. Using the high speed photography techniques, he demonstrated that small bubbles are released at a high frequency under flow conditions.
