Jamil A. Khan

Dr. Jamil A. Khan is Professor and Director of College Faculty Affairs in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing. His research focuses on thermal-fluid sciences with applications in energy systems, nuclear safety, and electronics cooling.

Research investigates enhanced heat transfer through micro/nano-scale surface engineering, nanofluid development, and multiphase flow optimization. Recent work includes nuclear fuel thermal management, spray cooling enhancements, and ionic liquid-based nanofluids for solar applications.

Honors include ASME Fellow status and Research Achievement Award. Funded projects exceed $35 million from DOE, ONR, and NRC, supporting nuclear thermal-hydraulics and naval power systems research. Manages in excess of $35 million in funded projects with industry and government partners.

Teaching covers heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and energy systems at undergraduate and graduate levels. Mentors doctoral candidates in thermal sciences and nuclear engineering.
