Bassam Badran

Ph.D. in Micro Heat Pipes (MHPs) from the Microscale Heat Transfer Laboratory within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (ceas.uc.edu/research/centers-labs/thermal-fluid-and-thermal-processing-lab.html). Research focused on the design, fabrication, and thermal performance analysis of micro heat pipes for advanced thermal management applications, particularly in electronics and microsystems.
Served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Damascus University (sabbatical Leave). Taught undergraduate and graduate-level courses in thermal sciences and conducts research in heat transfer, energy systems, and thermal management technologies.
As a researcher at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, worked on the development and optimization of high-temperature heat pumps, along with the integration of additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies for thermal applications. The work at KTH emphasized the use of cutting-edge materials and manufacturing methods to improve the efficiency and scalability of energy systems.
Currently, researcher at the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), focuses on the design and deployment of industrial-scale heat pump technologies aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and supporting the transition to sustainable industrial processes. Contributes to real-world industrial applications, with a strong emphasis on waste heat recovery and system integration.
Core areas of expertise include thermal and waste heat management, advanced heat pump technologies, and the additive manufacturing of heat exchangers (HEX). His interdisciplinary background spans academic research, teaching, and industrial innovation, making him a key contributor to the field of sustainable thermal engineering and energy systems.
