Research:
PhD
• One dimensional compressible flow models for duct systems with area change, and friction and heat transfer effects
• Real time thermal fluid components models including spatial variation
• Acausal models suitable for simulating flows in all directions
• Developing models of engine manifolds, catalytic converter, throttle, and cooler
Masters

• Lumped (0D) models for chillers, pumps, and fans
• Modelled a Chilled Ceiling Displacement Ventilation (CC/DV) system and conditioned space
• Utilized Global Optimization algorithms (with a focus on Genetic Algorithms) for state optimization
Undergrad
• CFD simulations for Chilled Ceiling Displacement Ventilation (CC/DV) conditioned space
• Experimental validation for simulations
• PID control of CC/DV conditioned spaces
