Kamran Fouladi
My expertise is in the area of thermal-fluids with professional experience at NASA, Lockheed Martin, and Pratt & Whitney. I also have years of consulting experience as a simulation engineer and trainer. I like to share my professional experiences with students in the context of the material taught in the classroom for them to realize what they are learning is not just abstract concepts.
Research Description
My research interests are focused on the development and application of state-of-the-art thermal-fluid simulation tools for complex configurations and mission-critical facilities. My current interest is in the area of the fluid-structure interactions in micro-scaled air and underwater vehicles.
