Anupam Jena is a doctoral candidate in Energy at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. His current research focuses on experimental and computational investigations of internal cooling strategies for gas turbine blades, with a particular emphasis on heat transfer enhancement techniques and pressure loss optimization in multipass cooling channels.

He holds a Master of Science in Nuclear Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he developed novel experimental methods to characterize surface wettability of accident-tolerant fuel cladding materials under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. He earned his Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur.

Anupam’s research integrates high-fidelity experimental design with validated CFD simulations to solve applied thermal-fluid problems in turbomachinery and energy systems. He has previously worked on two-phase flow modeling, advanced reactor coolant technologies, and UAV-based systems, contributing to a diverse range of multidisciplinary projects.

He is actively engaged in academic leadership and scholarly outreach, and is passionate about advancing sustainable and efficient energy technologies through rigorous engineering research.
