About

Arun S. Mujumdar is a prolific researcher whose work spans the dynamic intersection of advanced manufacturing, thermal engineering, and intelligent food systems. Best known for his pioneering contributions to food technology and heat transfer, Mujumdar has built a distinguished career bridging fundamental engineering principles with cutting-edge applications. His highly cited 2021 paper on 4D printing in the food sector, which has garnered over 208 citations, established him as a leading voice in the emerging field of smart food fabrication, exploring how stimuli-responsive materials can revolutionize food design and functionality. Earlier in his career, his 2002 review of gas flow and heat transfer in microchannels — accumulating 156 citations — demonstrated his deep expertise in microscale thermal-fluid systems, a foundational area for modern miniaturized devices and cooling technologies. More recently, his 2025 work on AI-driven low-altitude drone delivery for fresh food supply chains signals his forward-thinking engagement with intelligent logistics and sustainability. Collectively, Mujumdar's research reflects a rare versatility, making meaningful contributions across decades and disciplines, and offering invaluable insights for students and researchers working at the frontier of food engineering and thermal sciences.
