معرفی
Mete Budaklı serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Astronautical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, focusing on advanced thermal systems for aerospace and electronics. His research spans experimental and numerical analysis of heat transfer phenomena in microstructured environments.
His primary research interests include Heat Transfer, Boiling Heat Transfer, and Microstructured Surfaces, with significant contributions in pool boiling augmentation using open micro-channels, condensation on textured surfaces, and thermal management of LED packages. Current work emphasizes operational condition effects on critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient optimization.
Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals dominant trends in micro-scale thermal engineering, particularly aerospace cooling systems and electronics thermal management. Over 70% of recent work addresses boiling/condensation phenomena on engineered surfaces, with growing focus on spacecraft thermal control applications.
Dr. Budaklı currently leads two major research projects: development of hybrid material heat pipes for spacecraft (2025-2028) and creation of a one-dimensional heat flux model for nucleate boiling on micro-grooved heater surfaces (2025). His Scopus profile shows 207 citations and an h-index of 8 across 29 research outputs since 2009.
