Prof. Ali Chamkha, originally from Beirut, Lebanon, is a globally recognized authority in Mechanical Engineering, Fluid Dynamics, and Energy Systems. He currently serves as the Dean of Engineering at Kuwait College of Science and Technology (KCST). Over a career spanning more than three decades, Prof. Chamkha has made pioneering contributions to nanofluids, nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM), porous media, filtration, magnetohydrodynamics, multiphase flow systems, and heat and mass transfer. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Tennessee Technological University (USA) in 1989 and has since held leading academic and administrative roles across the United States and the Middle East, including Tennessee Technological University, Kuwait University, and Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University in Saudi Arabia, where he served as Dean of Graduate Studies, Dean of Research, and holder of the Prince Sultan Endowed Chair for Energy and Environment. Prof. Chamkha has published more than 1,300 peerreviewed papers, book chapters, and conference articles, which have been cited over 63,000 times, with a Google Scholar h-index of 143. His innovative research in nanofluids and phase change materials has opened new frontiers in energy-saving technologies, particularly for electronics cooling and automotive applications. His international standing is reflected in repeated recognition by Stanford University and Elsevier: in 2025, he was ranked #1 in the Arab world and #10 globally in Mechanical Engineering & Transports, placing him among the world’s top 2% of scientists across all disciplines. Prof. Chamkha has received numerous awards, including the Khalifa Award for Distinguished University Professor in Scientific Research (2011), the Khwarizmi International Award for Engineering (2012), and the International Obada Prize (2023). A sought-after speaker and prolific editor, he serves on the boards of multiple high-impact journals and is deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of engineers, advancing sustainability, and fostering international collaboration in science and technology.
