Nicolas Miche serves as Principal Lecturer at the University of Brighton's School of Architecture, Technology and Engineering, affiliated with the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices and Advanced Engineering Centre.
His research centers on thermofluids and propulsion systems, with current emphasis on multiphase thermal management for space and terrestrial applications. Key areas include electric vehicle battery thermal management, pulsating heat pipes under microgravity/hypergravity conditions, waste heat recovery for internal combustion engines, and automotive leak repair systems. Expertise extends to combustion development (2-4 stroke cycles, high-pressure fuel injection), gas turbine secondary flows, and experimental techniques like laser diagnostics and infrared thermometry.
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate experimental focus on heat pipe technology for space/vehicle thermal management, analyzing pool boiling phenomena, polymeric heat pipe performance under bending/temperature variations, and microgravity effects on human physiology. Work consistently addresses multiphase flow challenges in extreme environments.

Miche supervises research in thermal management and propulsion systems, with active involvement in major projects:
- TITANZ: Net-zero shipping/power generation using ammonia (EPSRC, 2023-2025)
- GELL-P: Microgravity effects on lower limb perfusion (2023-2024)
- WHISKIES: Space wound healing platforms (ESA, 2020-2023)
- TOPDESS: Space-deployable thermal devices (ESA, 2019-2022)
Collaborating through Brighton's Advanced Engineering Centre, he works with international teams including Marengo, Georgoulas, and Bernagozzi on ESA/EPSRC-funded thermal-fluid research for space applications and sustainable propulsion.
