Fellow

Over mij

Dr. ir. Wessel W. Wits is appointed Fellow at the University of Twente and Hardware Architect at Thales Netherlands. Dr. Wits received his PhD in 2008 on the topic of integrated cooling concepts for electronic systems. Since then he has a profound interest in thermal management of electronic systems. Research into the application of two-phase cooling devices forms a major part of his research activities.

Dr. Wits has contributed markedly to the field of thermal management, including heat pipes, thermosyphons, loop heat pipes, pulsating heat pipes, pumped two-phase loops and many more heat transfer devices. Focal point in his research is the quest to functionally integrate or embed two-phase systems into electronics systems. Next to a solid base in heat and mass flow knowledge, expertise in engineering design and manufacturing plays a pivotal role in this respect. Recent advances in additive manufacturing have tremendously enlarged the manufacturable design solution space. Dr. Wits is committed to exploiting this technological progress by inventing even better cooling devices, and by disseminating this to academic peers and industry at large.

Dr. Wits is Associate Member of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP), Steering Committee Member of THERMINIC, the International Workshop on Thermal Investigations of ICs and Systems, and Founder of the Dutch Knowledge Center for Heat Pipe Technology.
