Arvind Pattamatta is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Madras. He received his Ph.D. from SUNY, Buffalo, NY in 2009. His research interests are in the area of microscale energy transport and thermal management of devices. Prof Arvind Pattamatta is also the founding coordinator for the ISRO-IIT Madras Centre of excellence for Fluid and Thermal sciences since 2025.
Alexander von Humboldt fellowship (2013)
INAE Young Engineer Award (2015)
JSPS invitational fellowship (2017)
His doctoral research focused on the coalescence dynamics of small droplets during condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces, combining experiments with numerical simulations. His broader research interest lies in applying the fundamentals of interfacial phenomena on engineered surfaces to design advanced devices that harness phase-change heat transfer for high performance cooling technologies.
