Published on by Invention Awards

Prof. Leonid Dombrovsky | Radiative Transfer in Scattering Media | Best Researcher Award 

Prof. Leonid Dombrovsky | Joint Institute for High Temperatures (RAS) | Russia

Prof. Leonid Dombrovsky is a distinguished expert in heat and mass transfer, radiative heat transfer, and thermal physics with a career spanning over five decades. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanics of Fluids, Gases, and Plasma from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Russia, in 1974, followed by a Doctor of Engineering Sciences degree in Theoretical Fundamentals of Heat Transfer in 1990 from the Research Institute of Thermal Processes, Moscow. Currently, he serves as Chief Researcher at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences, Senior Researcher at the University of Tyumen, and Research Fellow at Ariel University, Israel. Prof. Dombrovsky’s research interests encompass spectral and wide-range optical properties of particles and fibers, radiative heat transfer in scattering media, combined heat transfer in power engineering, biomedicine, and geophysics, and stabilization of levitating droplet clusters. He has applied his expertise to numerous practical problems, including thermal radiation in combustion systems, heat transfer in advanced porous insulations and ceramics, solar-induced melting of snowpacks, fuel-coolant interactions in nuclear reactors, and photothermal therapy modeling. Prof. Dombrovsky has an extensive record of international collaborations, visiting appointments, and consultancy roles across Europe, the USA, and Australia. A highly cited researcher, he has published over 450 peer-reviewed papers, with more than 11,000 citations and an h-index of 57. He has received prestigious awards including the ICHMT Fellowship Award (2022), William Begell Medal (2018), Graham de Vahl Davis Best Paper Award (2017), and the A.V. Luikov Medal (2018) for outstanding contributions to heat and mass transfer. He is an elected member and chair of various professional bodies including ICHMT, Optica, ASME, ASTFE, and ISES. Prof. Dombrovsky also serves on multiple editorial boards for journals such as Frontiers in Thermal Engineering, High-Temperature Material Processes, and Computational Thermal Sciences, reflecting his leadership in advancing thermal science research globally.
