Greetings from the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. I am interested in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, numerical methods and innovative laboratory teaching methods. From links on this page you can learn more about the classes I teach, and my research projects.

MATLAB: If you have arrived at this page looking for information on MATLAB, you will be interested in my book Numerical Methods with MATLAB, or a web page giving overview of MATLAB, my (old) MATLAB Hypertext Reference, and the class ME 352: Numerical Methods in Engineering.

Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer: If you're interested in numerical modeling of fluids and heat transfer, look at the on-line lecture notes and toy MATLAB codes for my class on applied CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). If you're interested in laboratory techniques related to the cooling of electronic equipment, look at the look at the on-line lecture notes and lab assignments for my class on thermal management measurements.

Current Teaching Schedule

During Fall 2009, I am teaching ME 488 Design of Experiments and ME 507, Graduate Seminar, and working on the EET research project.
