Nagamangala Krishnamurthy Anand (born 1956)[1] is a Texas A&M Regents Professor and the holder of James J. Cain '51 Professor III in the College of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, at Texas A&M University.[2] He served as the interim dean of the College of Engineering after his appointment on September 1, 2011. His term as interim Dean ended on January 10, 2012, upon the succession of M. Katherine Banks. He was the Executive Associate Dean for the College of Engineering at Texas A&M, from 2009 to 2022, and the Associate Director of Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, from 2007 to 2022.[3] In February 2022, Professor Anand was appointed as the Vice President for Faculty Affairs at Texas A&M University.[4][5]
Research Work
[edit]N. K. Anand's research focuses on the development and application of computational techniques to study fluid flow and heat transfer. Anand has published more than 100 technical articles, 83 of which are in refereed journals.[6] In recognition of his overall technical contributions, Anand was named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and has served as an associate technical editor of the association's Journal of Heat Transfer.[7] He currently serves as the co-editor of the Journal of Energy, Heat and Mass Transfer. In addition, he is a member of the editorial board for Numerical Heat Transfer and is currently chair of the association's K-20 Committee on Computational Heat Transfer.[8] Dr. Anand is also the co-author of the graduate level textbook titled "Finite Element and Finite Volume Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics".[9]
