Dr. Ed Walsh's research interests focus on understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and energy. His work encompasses applied turbomachinery and thermal management in biotechnology, addressing a broad range of topics from applied work to fundamental studies of boundary layers and microfluidics. A significant part of his research involves energy reduction in data centers, which house cabinets containing servers that compute tasks required by various industries including the internet, banks, and research studies. Notably, these cabinets, comparable to the size of a domestic fridge, can dissipate up to 50kW of power, akin to that of a typical car engine. Achieving energy efficiency in large-scale infrastructures poses particular challenges due to the vast number of length scales and the interaction between generated heat and dissipative components throughout the thermal chain, from computing components to the external ambient environment. Dr. Walsh's research has led to methodologies that identify the optimum operating conditions for infrastructures and has been implemented at Hewlett Packard.
