Yuhiro Iwamoto

Yuhiro Iwamoto is currently an Assistant professor of Department of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan since June 2016. He is also a Collaborative Researcher of Institute of Fluid Science (IFS) in Tohoku University, Japan since April 2014. He received B.Eng. (2008), M.Sc. (2010) and Ph.D. of Dr. Eng. (2013) in Doshisha University. He has received several awards, e.g. Research Fellow of The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science from 2011 to 2013 and so on. He has engaged in researches on experimental and computational fluid mechanics and engineering, involving basic study and application for supercritical CO2 and magnetic functional fluids. He is currently interested in and engages in research on effective utilization of CO2, e.g. a Solar Rankine System and Solar Water Heater using Supercritical CO2 and Ultra-Low-Temperature Refrigeration System using Dry Ice. He also numerically approaches these topics using Lattice Boltzmann Method as numerical scheme and General-Purpose of Computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) as a technique for high performance computing. Many reviewed journal papers have been published in these fields.
