Arjan Frijns

Arjan Frijns is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He leads the Energy Technology group and specializes in micro-thermo fluidics, with a focus on heat and mass transfer at nano- and micro-scales, evaporative cooling, and multi-scale modeling (MD, DSMC, hybrid MD-DSMC, CFD). His work bridges fundamental research and experimental validation, including collaborations with industry and Maastricht University on human thermoregulation.

• Research Areas: Microscale heat transfer, rarefied gas flows, human thermal comfort, hybrid modeling techniques.
• Key Collaborations: Department of Human Biology (Maastricht University), Technische Universität Darmstadt, Ghent University/IMEC.

His publications highlight innovations in microfluidic device modeling, thermal management systems, and thermoregulation models like ThermoSEM. Recent work integrates machine learning for rarefied gas dynamics, funded by NWO under the RareTrans program.

Grants: Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) - RareTrans project (HTSM-15376).
