Francisco P. Brito holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minho. After several years of research and invited teaching positions, he became Assistant Professor at the University of Aveiro in 2021 and, since 2022, Assistant Professor at the University of Minho. He is an integrated researcher at MEtRICs, head of the Laboratory of Mobility and Applied Thermodynamics (LaMoTA) since 2023, and Director of the BSc in Mechanical Engineering since 2024.
His research is centred on Applied Thermodynamics, heat transfer, thermal-fluid systems, energy conversion and thermal management, combining modelling, experimentation and prototype-oriented development. Over the years, he has built strong expertise in the analysis and optimisation of systems involving high heat fluxes, compact heat exchangers, phase-change-assisted heat transfer, waste-heat recovery, electronics cooling, thermal control and energy systems integration. His work consistently bridges fundamental thermal-fluid science with practical engineering implementation.
A major line of his research has focused on thermoelectric waste-heat recovery for vehicles and industry, where heat-transfer enhancement and temperature control are central challenges. In this context, he has developed and validated experimentally and numerically several thermal management concepts, including solutions based on embedded heat pipes, temperature-controlled exhaust heat exchangers and advanced thermal architectures for highly variable operating conditions. He has also contributed to research on mini- and microchannel flows, enhanced surfaces for advanced heat recovery, spray heat transfer, and cooling strategies for high-power electronics and electrified mobility systems.
His activity spans a broad range of energy-related topics, including thermal management of power electronics and EV charging systems, energy storage and conversion, alternative fuels, propulsion and efficiency-oriented thermal systems, always with emphasis on experimentally grounded modelling, system-level optimisation and engineering applicability. He has coordinated or played leading roles in collaborative national and international R&D projects involving academia and industry, and has actively supported the development of laboratory infrastructure, prototypes and student-led engineering innovation.
He is author/co-author of 102 publications in Google Scholar, 91 publications in Web of Science (60 indexed) and 75 in Scopus. As of February/March 2026, he had 2,821 citations in Google Scholar (h-index 27; i10-index 41), 1,484 citations in Web of Science (h-index 18), 1,893 citations in Scopus (h-index 20; 19 excluding self-citations), and 2,168 citations in ResearchGate (h-index 22), with 171,915 reads. He also has 92 verified journal reviews in Web of Science, corresponding to the 97th percentile. He has supervised five PhD students, two of whom have already concluded, and over 90 MSc students, including 75 concluded.
