PROFESSOR SOMCHAI WONGWISES ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY

Abstract

Professor Somchai Wongwises is one of the well-known names in the fields of two-phase flow, and heat transfer enhancement. Professor Somchai Wongwises was born on the 3rd October 1959 in Bangkok, Thailand. He received his B.Sc. in Bachelor of Engineering (with honors) in Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangmod, Bangkok, Thailand in 1982. Then, he transferred to the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani, Thailand to prepare for a Master’s Degree in Energy Technology that was awarded in August 1984. Subsequently, he obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand in 1989. He received his Doktor Ingenieur (Dr.-Ing.) in Mechanical Engineering from Institute of Process Engineering, University of Hannover, Hannover, Germany in August 1994 under the supervision of Professor Dr.-Ing. Dieter Mewes. With greatly appreciated scholarships from DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and from the University of Hannover, his research work in Germany was crowned with complete success.
