Alex White

Dr. Alex White is a Senior Lecturer in Thermofluids at the Department of Engineering, Cambridge University, and a Fellow and Director of Studies at Peterhouse. He earned his undergraduate and PhD degrees from King's College, Cambridge, and conducted postdoctoral research in Cambridge, Lyon, and Toulouse before returning to Cambridge in 2000 as part of the Energy Group.

His research focuses on two-phase flow (vapour-droplet flows), thermodynamics of power generation, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and heat pumps. His work includes theoretical and numerical studies on warm dense matter, electron transport, and energy storage systems like pumped thermal and compressed air storage.

Recent publications emphasize warm dense matter physics, inertial confinement fusion, and thermal energy storage innovations. His theoretical analyses and simulations span high-energy-density plasmas, nonlocal electron stopping power, and hybrid energy systems. While no scientific awards are documented, his contributions to thermofluids and extreme condition physics are significant.
