Brian D. Iverson is a full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University, where he leads the Flux Lab. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and a B.S. from Brigham Young University.
Dr. Iverson's research bridges nanoscale thermal phenomena with industrial-scale applications, focusing on
- Enhanced convective heat transfer
- Condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces
- Microfabrication of sensors and actuators
- Thermal energy storage
- Solar absorptive surfaces
- Renewable power systems
His publications span 15 recent articles (2025-2024) covering sCO2 Brayton cycles, biomass co-firing, condensation dynamics, and radiative properties. Key trends include power system integration, thermal management for aerospace, and advanced biosensor development.
Scientific accolades include
- NSF CAREER Award (2018-2024)
- Fulbright U.S. Scholar in Germany (2021-2022)
As an educator, he has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in
- Convective Heat Transfer (ME EN 643)
- Intermediate Heat Transfer (ME EN 540)
- Fluid Mechanics (ME EN 312)
- Capstone Senior Design Coaching
He has advised graduate students at Stanford, Purdue, and University of Colorado, while current lab members work on thermal gradient gas chromatography, origami-inspired radiators, and nanotube-based biosensors.
