Kripa Varanasi got Young Faculty Award from DARPA
6 August 2010Defence Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) grants Young Faculty Award every year to the junior faculty engaged in the physical science, engineering and mathematics areas and 2010 Young Faculty Award is received by Kripa Varanasi, assistant professor of Mechanical engineering at MIT.Â
Kripa is also the leader of the lab for Surface Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT. Kripa will develop nanoengineering based surface technology enabled thermal fluid systems that can find the applications in many advance technologies including ultra high heat flux thermal management. The new technology can serve multiple industries ranging from photonics to the energy.Â
The present hurdles in the electronics or photonics devices are that, these devices are unable to remove heat quickly and the heat present in the system reduces the overall performance and life of these devices. The heat removal is a crucial challenge and with the DARPA’s Defense Science Office grants for 2010 in the area of nanoengineered surface technology based thermal-fluid system, a better solution is expected to come in the near future.
