I am Dr. Mansoor Janjua, Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National University of Technology (NuTech). With over 15 years of experience in both academia and industry, my primary research interests lie in CAE, CAD, Thermal Sciences and Robotics. I am passionate about applying mechanical engineering principles to address real-world challenges, from sustainable energy solutions to advanced manufacturing and robotics. My teaching philosophy emphasizes building a strong foundation in core mechanics and design, while also fostering hands-on problem-solving skills and adaptability to emerging technologies.

I have published over 40 peer-reviewed papers in top-tier journals and conferences, such as the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer and Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry.
I have taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level courses in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. Below are the courses I have been involved in teaching:
- Elements of Vibrations and Controls (Graduate)
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing
- Sensors and Actuators
- Robotics
- Applied Programming for Engineers
- Fluid Mechanics
- Heat Transfer
- Fluid Power
- Solid Modeling
- Computer Aided Manufacturing with CNC Applications
My research focuses on the thermal performance of latent heat storage units under various operating conditions, along with numerical and experimental investigations of heat transfer performance in nanofluids. I have also worked on developing drag coefficient correlation equations for different geometries, contributing to improved modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena.
Looking ahead, I am particularly interested in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with thermal sciences and control systems. By combining data-driven approaches with classical models, my aim is to enhance predictive accuracy, optimize system performance, and advance automation in thermal management and energy systems.
