Sina Kashanj

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Aerospace Research Centre of the National Research Council Canada (NRC), where my work focuses on thermofluids, combustion, and optical diagnostics. I have a strong passion for experimental research and enjoy exploring complex thermofluid phenomena through hands-on laboratory work. I also take great interest in designing and fabricating custom tools and devices to support experimental investigations. In addition, I have experience in developing and applying optical diagnostics to study fluid flow and heat transfer. Currently, my research focuses on investigating near-wall combustion and heat transfer in aero engines using optical measurement and laser diagnostics.

EDUCATION

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) in September 2014. I then pursued a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering – Propulsion at Sharif University of Technology, completing it in January 2018. My MSc thesis focused on the atomization of impinging jets, studied using shadowgraph imaging under the supervision of Dr. Azadeh Kebriaee.

In December 2024, I completed my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta. My doctoral research, supervised by Dr. David S. Nobes, focused on experimental fluid dynamics and heat transfer, employing optical diagnostics such as PIV and PLIF.

RESEARCH INTEREST

Experimental Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, and Aerodynamics
Optical Measurement, Laser Diagnostics, and Imaging
Spray, Atomization, Droplet
Fluid Systems

My major research interests are in experimental thermofluid science, especially those related to heat transfer, atomization, and combustion. I am also interested in studying and developing optical measurement systems such as shadowgraph imaging, PIV, LIF, Schlieren, PSP, TSP, and MTV. I am also experienced in the area of computer-aided design and manufacturing to be able to design and make testing apparatus and thermofluid systems.
