- John H. Lienhard V (John Henry Lienhard V (born 1961) is an American mechanical engineer. He is the Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Water and Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on desalination, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. He has also written several engineering textbooks. Lienhard was born in 1961 in Pullman, Washington, where his father, John H. Lienhard IV, was a professor at Washington State University. His mother, Carol Ann Bratton, a violinist, was a member of the Washington State University String Quartet. The family moved to Lexington, Kentucky in 1967 when his father took a position at the University of Kentucky. Lienhard attended primary school and high school in Lexington. Lienhard enrolled at the University of Kentucky when he was 16. He completed his bachelor's degree in engineering, summa cum laude, at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1982, and he took his master's degree in heat and mass transfer at UCLA in 1984 for research on Rayleigh-Bénard instability. He then transferred to the University of California, San Diego, where he wrote his doctoral dissertation on wind tunnel measurements of strongly stratified turbulent flow, finishing in 1988. Lienhard's doctoral experiments encompassed Brunt-Väisälä frequencies up to 2.4 s-1 and required the development of hot-wire anemometry usable in the presence of large temperature fluctuations. Lienhard joined the mechanical engineering faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988, immediately after graduating from UCSD. He has spent his entire professional career at MIT.
