Dr. Arjan Frijns

Biography

Arjan Frijns is a dedicated researcher at the Energy Technology group of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), specializing in the field of micro-thermo fluidics. His research primarily focuses on investigating heat and mass transfer phenomena in microfluidic porous structures. His main areas of interest include fundamental studies on heat transfer at nano- and micro-scales, evaporative cooling, and multi-scale modeling, including molecular dynamics and hybrid computational fluid dynamics techniques. He validates models and conducts experimental research using micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (micro-PIV) and 3D micro-Particle Tracking Velocimetry (micro-PTV). Arjan has a strong track record of collaborative projects with the industry, particularly in the area of evaporative cooling and microfluidic sensors. He also explores heat transfer modeling in the human body, focusing on individual thermal sensations and thermal comfort in built environments. In collaboration with the Department of Human Biology at Maastricht University, he has developed a dynamic thermoregulation model, ThermoSEM, which integrates neurophysiological mechanisms with internal heat transfer processes to predict thermal responses in humans.
