Teaching
Graduate Courses Taught
- Principles of Heat Transfer
- Computational Heat and Fluid Flow
- Combustion Processes II or Computational Combustion
- Finite Difference Methods in Engineering
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
The first two courses were developed and they are required by all graduate students in thermal sciences. The course on Combustion II was developed to introduce advanced computational concepts in combustion including use of commercial software.
Undergraduate Courses Taught
- Design of Thermal-Fluid Systems
