Mechanical, Materials & Aerospace Engineering Department
Illinois Institute of Technology
B.S. (1968), M.S. (1969), and Ph.D. (1972) Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT)
Field of Specialization:
All degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; Research interests are in fluid mechanics, particularly the areas of hydrodynamic stability, transition of laminar flow to turbulent flow, applied turbulence, mixing of both laminar and turbulent streams, mixing of the two-phase flows, unsteady flows, separated flows, wind engineering and atmospheric diffusion, aeroacoustics, and convection heat transfer, with emphasis on management and control of flows. Application of Information Technology, particularly to areas such as Fluid Dynamics, and Telemedicine.
