Ryan Malone.
Thermal engineering
for electronics cooling.
I’m a first-year mechanical engineering student and undergraduate researcher at Case Western Reserve University, building a foundation in electronics cooling through supervised experiments, CFD methods and a planned independent cold-plate bench.
PLANNED / INDEPENDENT PROJECTLIQUID COOLING
PLANNED schematic, not an as-built apparatus or measured cooling result.
01 / SUPERVISED RESEARCH
From a model to a measurement.
Since August 2026, I have worked in Professor Chirag Kharangate’s thermal-fluid laboratory with PhD researcher Huigang Wang. My contributions span experimental support, geometry and meshes, and design planning.
02 / CFD
CFD Geometry & Meshing
Geometry preparation, inflation-layer mesh refinement, and development of a two-phase CFD workflow under research guidance.
Methods in development03 / Condensation
Condensation Design Planning
Contributing to condensation test-section planning, with optical access and future imaging needs guiding draft CAD candidates.

03 / ENGINEERING DIRECTION
Cooling for
power-dense computing.
I want to understand how hardware, fluid flow and measurement quality shape thermal performance.
My current work develops a foundation in electronics cooling, two-phase flow and thermal testing. Each project distinguishes the work completed, the assumptions used and the next check needed.
