Mr. Hemantkumar Kadam, Assistant Professor at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune, is a dedicated researcher in mechanical engineering, pursuing a Ph.D. at Shivaji University, Kolhapur, with a focus on nanofluids, surfactants, stability, and heat transfer enhancement. With an M.Tech in Thermal Engineering and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, he has conducted extensive experimental studies on alumina nanofluids stabilized with biosurfactants (Rhamnolipids) and synthetic surfactants (SDS, SLS, PVP), analyzing thermophysical properties such as viscosity, interfacial tension, and stability using advanced techniques like UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS, and zeta potential. His research demonstrates the comparative environmental and performance advantages of biosurfactants over synthetic surfactants, offering sustainable approaches for heat transfer enhancement in renewable energy, HVAC, and electronic cooling systems. Mr. Hemantkumar Kadam has published four high-quality papers in SCIE and ESCI journals, holds two granted copyrights, and has a patent under process. He is an active member of ISTE and maintains professional profiles across Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate, Web of Science, and Scopus. Although his h-index is currently 1 with four citations, his work reflects innovative experimental research, strong academic contributions, and promising potential to impact sustainable thermal management technologies, making him a suitable candidate for the Best Research Award.
