Overview

David Jou is affiliated with the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain and is engaged in research spanning multiple fields including engineering, physics and astronomy, and materials science. Their work covers several specialized subfields such as atomic and molecular physics and optics, mechanics of materials, materials chemistry, statistical and nonlinear physics, and mechanical engineering.

The scientist's research topics focus on thermoelastic and magnetoelastic phenomena, quantum and superfluid helium dynamics, thermal properties of materials, advanced thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, thermal radiation and cooling technologies, cold atom physics and Bose-Einstein condensates, and gas dynamics and kinetic theory.

David Jou has contributed papers to a variety of publication venues. Frequent venues include Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik, Journal of Mathematical Physics, Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, and Journal of Thermal Stresses.

  • Nonlinear heat waves and some analogies with nonlinear optics (2020, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer)
  • Relationships between rational extended thermodynamics and extended irreversible thermodynamics (2020, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences)
  • Enhanced thermal rectification in graded Si Ge1- alloys (2020, Mechanics Research Communications)
  • Heat solitons and thermal transfer of information along thin wires (2020, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer)
  • Tunable heat rectification by applied mechanical stress (2020, Physics Letters A)

Their frequent coauthors include Michele Sciacca, Maria Stella Mongiovì, Liliana Restuccia, Vito Antonio Cimmelli, and A. Sellitto.

David Jou has published books with Springer International Publishing. Two notable titles are "Interpretative Aspects of Quantum Mechanics" (2020) and "Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics of Superfluid Helium and Quantum Turbulence" (2025).
