About Thilaksiri
Dr. Thilaksiri Bandara is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. He obtained his B.Sc.Eng. (Hons) degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering with first-class honors from the University of Ruhuna, where he initially served as a lecturer. Pursuing advanced studies in Australia, he earned an M.Phil. from the University of Melbourne and a Ph.D. from RMIT University in 2015, with his doctoral thesis titled 'Heat transfer enhancement in microchannels with liquid-liquid slug flow.' Following his Ph.D., he gained professional experience in Australia before joining the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in 2017. In July 2022, he was elected Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the university. Bandara is an associate member of the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka.
Bandara's research focuses on microfluidics and heat transfer, electronic cooling, and renewable energy. His expertise spans heat transfer, thermal engineering, fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), engineering thermodynamics, numerical simulation, and software such as FLUENT and CFX. Key publications include 'Slug flow heat transfer without phase change in microchannels: A review' in Chemical Engineering Science (2015), 'Slug flow heat transfer in microchannels: A numerical study' in Computational Thermal Sciences (2015), and 'Numerical study of slug flow heat transfer in microchannels' presented at the 15th International Heat Transfer Conference (2014). Recent works feature 'Recent advancements in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling of nanofluids: A Review' (2024), 'Numerical Analysis of Al2O3 Nanofluid Based Slug Flow Heat Transfer in Microchannels' (2024), 'Numerical Modelling of Water-Alumina Nanofluid Convective Heat Transfer Using a Eulerian-Eulerian Framework' (2024), and studies on superhydrophobic coatings for enhanced writability and printability of paper (2025). He co-authored patents for a 'Smooth lateral patient transfer apparatus' (WO/2021/148864 and LK/20943, 2021). His contributions advance understanding of two-phase flow and nanofluid applications in thermal management.
