Madhava Syamlal

Madhava Syamlal is Focus Area Leader of Computational and Basic Sciences at National Energy Technology Laboratory, where he is responsible for using computational science to accelerate the development of advanced energy systems. He earned a B.Tech in chemical engineering from IT-BHU (1977) and an M.S. (1981) and a Ph.D. (1985) in chemical engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology. He has led the development of the open source multiphase flow code MFIX and the integration CFD and process simulation, both of which have won R&D 100 awards. In 2009 he received the PTF Fluidization Process Recognition award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
