My long-term goal as an educator in the thermal sciences and energy systems area is to make the subject matter accessible to students who put in the time. The thermal sciences, like the other areas of engineering and science, often seem inaccessible, that is, complicated, obscure, and even intimidating to some. But, most of the topics in science and engineering are found around us every day. My goal is to bring the subject matter to life in this way.
I have taught a variety of classes before coming to NC State, namely, Engineering Thermodynamics I and II, Fluid mechanics I and II, and Heat Transfer. I teach thermodynamics following classical lines, but also discuss the different types of fuels that drive these processes (based on my past research in the combustion area). In fluid mechanics I place a large emphasis on visualizing flow, and discuss where, for instance, turbulence and laminar flows show up in everyday experiences. In heat transfer, just about every example (conduction, convention, radiation) that I go over is an everyday situation. In MAE, I collaborate with Dr. Lyons.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I like reading and travel.
