Fulfilling the Promise of Technology Transfer

Koichi Hishida received M.S. (1978) and PhD (1982) degrees in the department of Mechanical engineering from Keio University where he specialized in experimental fluid mechanics and heat transfer. He has researched on heat transfer enhancement in mist flow and turbulent structure in dispersed two-phase flow, and developed dynamic flow measurements based on Laser techniques such as Laser Doppler Velocimetry with particle sizing and Particle Image Velcimetry combined with Laser Induced Fluorescence and infrared shadow techniques. He is currently Professor (1997) in the Department of System Design Engineering, Keio University. His current research includes experiments on turbulent modification of two-phase flow (particle laden and bubble flows), heat transfer controlling, development of laser based instrumentation for micro-nano scale flow measurements. He is now associate editor of Experiments in Fluid, and advisory board member of Measurement Science and Technology (IOP), Fluid Dynamic Research, and organizing committee member of several international conferences such as Application of Laser Technique to Fluid Mechanics, Turbulent Shear Flow and Phenomena, ICMF, and so forth. He was elected to a Fellow of the Institute of Physics as a chartered physicist (CPhys FinstP) in 1999. He has published more than 150 articles in major international journals.
