BIOGRAPHY

Valérie Eveloy is an Associate Professor in mechanical engineering specialized in thermofluids at The Petroleum Institute, United Arab Emirates.  She holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Dublin City University, Ireland, awarded for an experimental assessment of computational fluid dynamics predictive accuracy for electronic component heat transfer, and a M.Sc. from the National Institute of Applied Science (INSA), France.  Her present research interests are in alternative energies, with focus on solid oxide fuel cells for power generation in oil and gas industry applications, computational fluid dynamics, and engineering education.  Prior to joining the Petroleum Institute, she was with the CALCE EPSC at the University of Maryland, USA; several divisions of Nokia, including Nokia Research Center, Finland; and Electronics Thermal Management, Ireland.  She has over fourteen years experience in areas including the packaging, thermal management and reliability of electronic equipment, computational fluid dynamics, biomedical human health monitoring, and fuel cells.  She has authored or co-authored over 60 refereed journal and conference publications and one book chapter, and is a co-editor of both the First and Second International Energy 2030 Conference proceedings.  Dr. Eveloy is a member of several international conference program committees focused on energy technologies, electronics reliability and thermal phenomena in electronic systems.  Dr. Eveloy is a member of ASME.
