My research is focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency. I typically work on projects that use advanced heat transfer or thermodynamics techniques to address energy problems. Currently my team is working on improving heat transfer in energy efficient lighting, modeling chaotic heat transfer for energy applications, and renewable energy systems.
My teaching is focused on thermodynamics and heat transfer. I teach lecture and laboratory courses using active learning and traditional classroom methods. A few recent classes are listed below.
Introduction to Programming; Mechanical Engineering Analysis; Thermodynamics; Applied Thermodynamics; Heat Transfer; Thermodynamics Laboratory; Research Methods; Renewable Energy; Energy Efficiency in Buildings; Numerical Methods
