Jubair Shamim

Bio

Jubair has been actively conducting research in the field of thermos-fluid engineering since 2013. His research expertise/ interests include but are not limited to transport in porous media, functional materials for energy harvesting, thermal management of HVAC components and surfaces, and interfaces for enhanced dropwise condensation and anti-icing. His previous key research accomplishments are (i) the design and testing of a hybrid compression-adsorption heat pump system, (ii) the design of a multilayer fixed-bed binder-free desiccant dehumidifier using a distinct mesoporous silica gel, and (iii) the design of slippery superhydrophobic surfaces with low depinning force to suppress wetting transition and enhance condensate removal. 

Jubair is an active member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Japan Society of Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (JSRAE). He also serves as the guest editor, review editor, and reviewer for several academic journals. Jubair received the JSRAE academic award in 2023 for his contribution to refrigeration and air-conditioning technology development. Outside of academic pursuits, he loves outdoor and sports activities, including cycling, swimming, tennis, and traveling.
