摘要

Prof. Thome is a well-known expert in the field of two-phase flows and heat transfer, having made many outstanding contributions to two-phase flow and heat transfer, through his research, reference books, teaching, standards, community service and engineering applications. He was born in Easton, PA. U.S.A. on February 25 1953 and grew up in Michigan. His past and curent research work spans nearly all areas of boiling and condensation and two-phase flows, covering both internal flows and external flows, enhanced heat transfer, micro/macro-scale heat transfer, pure fluid and mixtures, numerical modeling of two-phase phenomena and flows, and many special applications. He has published more than 180 journal papers with more than 4500 citations since joining the EPFL in 1998, with an H-factor of 33 (Scopus).
