Sina Kashanj
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Optical Diagnostics Group (ODG) and Applied Thermofluid Laboratory (ATL) of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Alberta working on experimental fluid dynamics and heat transfer under the supervision of Dr. David Nobes. I enjoy working in the laboratory doing experiments to find out about thermofluid phenomena. I also like designing and fabricating different tools and devices. I also have experience and enjoy developing and working on optical diagnostics techniques.
EDUCATION
I finished my undergraduate in the field of aerospace engineering at the Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Poly Technique) in Sep. 2014. Later, I started my master of science in the area of aerospace engineering-propulsion at the Sharif University of Technology, and I finished it in Jan. 2018. My MSc thesis was studying the liquid sheet and atomization of two colliding jets by applying the shadowgraph technique under the supervision of Prof. Azadeh Kebriaee. Currently, I am working on revealing new aspects of the physics of natural and mixed convection by applying optical measurement techniques and laser diagnostics.
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 fluid dynamics, especially those related to convection heat transfer, and atomization. I am also interested in studying and developing optical measurement systems such as shadowgraph, PIV (2D, scanning 3D, tomographic), LIF (2D, 3D), 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.
