I'm looking for

Industry partners with multiphase transport challenges: scale-up/scale-down of mixing and mass transfer, boiling/condensation and cryogenic thermal management, porous/wicking systems, and model validation against plant or test data. See https://kishanbellur.github.io/industry
About
I lead the UC Laboratory for Interfacial Dynamics (UCLID), where we study liquid-vapor phase change and interfacial transport across scales, from micro-scale thermophysics and capillary phenomena to cryogenic fluid management and microgravity fluid physics. We combine high-fidelity CFD, reduced-order network models, and optical and neutron imaging to predict and validate multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer behavior. I'm interested in industry partnerships where physics-based modeling can de-risk scale-up, including mixing, mass transfer, and hydrodynamic similarity between lab, pilot, and production systems. https://kishanbellur.github.io
