RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTERESTS Dr. Alvarado has been teaching courses in the areas of thermal sciences and fluid mechanics for the last 12 years. Dr. Alvarado’s research interests are in the areas of micro-scale and nano-scale heat transfer with specific emphasis on electronic cooling, thermal energy storage, heat transfer fluids, condensation, and phase change materials, water-energy nexus, and biofuel combustion. He has also done substantial research work in the area of microexplosion of biofuels. He has worked and collaborated with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), among others. Recent work involves enhanced condensation using hybrid surfaces with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, characterization of microencapsulated phase change material slurry and nanoparticles as heat transfer fluids, as well as the study of spray and droplet impingement cooling using nanostructured surfaces.
