Naser Sahiti (born 12 March 1966) is a Kosovan mechanical engineer, professor, and former rector. He was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and served as the Rector of the University of Pristina, from 2020 to 2022. [1] [2] [3]
Naser Sahiti was born on 12 March 1966 in Carraleva, Kosovo. Sahiti spent his youth in Carraleve and went to primary school there. After attending vocational college in Shtime and the technical college in Ferizaj he studied mechanical engineering at Pristina University, finishing with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with honours (1991). He then became a vocational school teacher in mathematics and informatics at the Naim Frashëri school in Shtime.
In 1996 Sahiti joined Prishtina University as an assistant in mechanical engineering. His focus there was research in and teaching of thermodynamics and thermal turbo-machinery.
In 2001 Sahiti moved to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Institute of Fluid Mechanics. He obtained after five years research the degree Dr. Ing. with the dissertation Thermal and fluid dynamic performance of pin fin heat transfer surfaces [4]
After returning to the university in Pristina Sahiti became Assistant Professor and from November 2013-February 2014 he has the Position Vice Rector for Budget and Finance at the University of Prishtina. From February 2009-October till 2009 he was acting as Vice Dean for Teaching Issues at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and from September 2018 he was appointed Chief of the Center for Renewable Energy. In 2017 the position as full Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He has been Prorector to Rector Marjan Dema and was elected as his successor in August 2020. On October 1, 2020, he started as Rector of the University of Pristina. [5]
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, entropy, and the physical properties of matter and radiation. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics which convey a quantitative description using measurable macroscopic physical quantities, but may be explained in terms of microscopic constituents by statistical mechanics. Thermodynamics applies to a wide variety of topics in science and engineering, especially physical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering, but also in other complex fields such as meteorology.
Chang-lin Tien was a Chinese-American professor of mechanical engineering and university administrator. He was the seventh chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley (1990–1997), and in that capacity was the first person of Asian descent to head a major research university in the United States.
A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature. In computers, heat sinks are used to cool CPUs, GPUs, and some chipsets and RAM modules. Heat sinks are used with high-power semiconductor devices such as power transistors and optoelectronics such as lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation ability of the component itself is insufficient to moderate its temperature.
Adrian Bejan is a Romanian-American professor who has made contributions to modern thermodynamics and developed his constructal law. He is J. A.

The University of Pristina is a public university located in Pristina, Kosovo. It is the institution that emerged after the disestablishment of the University of Pristina (1969–99) as a result of the Kosovo War. The inauguration of the university was a historical occurrence not only for the people of Kosovo, but for the whole Albanian nation. On 15 February, the solemn Parliament session took place, which is also proclaimed as The University of Pristina's Day. In the composition of the newly established University of Pristina were faculties with their headquarters in Pristina: the Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Law and Economics, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Medicine. Now the University of Pristina has 17 faculties, of which 14 are academic faculties and 3 are faculties of applied sciences. Contained within the emblem is a translation of the name into Latin, Universitas Studiorum Prishtiniensis.
