CEEE: From Heat Exchangers to Towel Hooks

CEEE’s newest research associate, Felipe de Castro, is always designing and building — whether it’s a more efficient heat exchanger, a more efficient and environmentally sustainable data center, a next-generation thermal management system that uses less water in cooling towers, or a simple towel hook for his own personal use. This spring, de Castro joined the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Energy Engineering as a postdoctoral research associate in its Advanced Heat Exchangers and Process Intensification (AHXPI) consortium under the guidance of CEEE co-founder Michael Ohadi in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
