Biography

Sadik Kakaç is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. He served as a Chairman of the department from 1990 to 1998. In 1955, he received the Dipl.-Ing. in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Istanbul and then received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1959 and his M.S. in Nuclear Engineering in 1960, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1965, he received his Ph.D. in the field of heat transfer from the Victoria University of Manchester, UK. He was elected as a member of the Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council in 1972 and became General Secretary of the Turkish Atomic Energy Commission in 1978, representing Turkey in a number of scientific endeavors abroad. He was the recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Distinguished U.S. Scientist Award in 1989, the Science Award of the Association of Turkish-American Scientists in 1994, the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Heat Transfer Memorial Award in 1997, the ICHMT Fellowship Award in 1997, and the Distinguished Service Award from the Middle East Technical University in 1998 and from the Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council (TÜBiTAK) in 2000. He is a fellow of the ASME, and the member of the Turkish Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of the Sciences of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation. He is an honorary professor at the Shanghai Institute of Electrical Power in China, a consulting professor of Xi’an Jiaotong University in China, and an honorary professor of the College of Engineering at the Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management in India. He received the Doctor Honoris Causa from the University Ovidius, Romania in 1998 and the Doctor Honoris from the University of Reims, France in 1999. Dr. Kakaç was formerly a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. Dr. Kakaç has focused his research efforts on steady-state and transient forced convection in single-phase and on two-phase flow instabilities in flow boiling, microscale heat transfer and fuel-cells. He is the author or co-author of six heat transfer text books and more than 190 research papers, as well as fifteen edited volumes in the field of thermal sciences, heat exchanger design and fundamentals and mini-macro fuel-cells as electric energy generators, including the Handbook of Single-Phase Convective Heat Transfer.
Dr. Kakaç is the editor of International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, member of the Honorary Editorial Advisory Board of the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, an Associate Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences, and the member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the International Journal of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Sciences. He presented seminars at various universities throughout Europe, USA, PR China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, and Taiwan as an invited speaker and reviews extensively journal papers and National Science Foundation (NSF) and other agency proposals. Dr. Kakaç is a member of the Scientific and the Executive Council of the International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer,
