Dražen Fabriš is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Santa Clara University's School of Engineering. With a Ph.D. and M.S. from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.S. from the California Institute of Technology, his expertise spans experimental and computational thermal-fluid sciences. He co-developed Santa Clara's microscale boiling laboratory and contributed to nanoscale thermal transport projects. Education: Ph.D., University of California at Berkeley, 1996 M.S., University of California at Berkeley, 1993 B.S., California Institute of Technology, 1990 His research focuses on: Nanoscale heat transport : Developing experimental and computational methods for metallic thin films and carbon nanostructures. Electronics cooling : Creating carbon nanotube thermal interfaces and spray cooling systems. Energy systems : Modeling data center efficiency and coal-to-syngas heat exchangers. Computational methods : Spectral techniques for Poisson equations and domain decomposition. Recent publications emphasize carbon nanofiber applications, bubble dynamics in boiling, climate impact modeling, and computational fluid dynamics, reflecting interdisciplinary collaboration across energy, nanotechnology, and instrumentation. Awards: Regents Fellowship, University of California at Berkeley Coopers and Lybrand Technology Challenge winner He secured $3.9M in research funding (as PI/Co-PI), including NSF support for curriculum development. He advises graduate research and leads the microscale boiling lab, focusing on high-speed nucleation and spray cooling physics.
