Engineering Professor Recognized for Pioneering Contributions in Thermophysical Properties

Professor Andreas Mandelis of the University of Toronto (U of T) Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is the recipient of the 2009 Yeram S. Touloukian Award, bestowed triennially by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to recognize outstanding technical contributions in the field of thermophysical properties. Professor Mandelis was honoured “for his seminal theoretical work in the shaping of thermal-wave sciences and associated thermophysical instrumentation and measurement technologies, including the physics and mathematics of thermal waves, depth–profilometry, imaging and the inverse problem; and for his pioneering experimental work introducing ultrasensitive analytical techniques, photopyroelectic sensors, the thermal-wave resonant cavity and biothermophotonics.” For more information, see the U of T website
