"“I would like to mention that I really, really enjoyed this thermodynamics course. The material and lectures were great, but especially the reader made the course amazing. The combination of the clear and enjoyable lectures and the great and thorough reader made this subject a real pleasure to learn and super-interesting to deeply understand."""

Author Information

Srinivas Vanapalli is a professor in Applied Physics at the University of Twente, where he leads the Applied Thermal Sciences group within the Faculty of Science and Technology. His research focuses on cryogenic thermal systems and multiphase heat and mass transfer, with a strong emphasis on fundamental science and its translation into innovative technologies. His academic roots are from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. He later received an electrical engineering master’s degree (cum laude) from University of Twente. He earned his PhD from the University of Twente, where he explored high-frequency operation and miniaturization of pulse tube cryocoolers—a part of which was conducted at NIST in Boulder, USA. After a period in industry, he returned to academia, where he now contributes extensively to both research and education. At Twente, Prof. Vanapalli teaches classical thermodynamics and cryogenics. He is also deeply engaged in the international cryogenics community, serving on several boards and committees, including the Cryogenics Society of Europe as chairman, International Institute of Refrigeration (Commission A2), and the Cryogenic Engineering Conference
