Professor of Mechanical Engineering FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Farrukh Alvi joined the M. E. department in 1993 as a post-doctoral research associate and an adjunct professor. He was subsequently started as an assistant professor in Fall 1995 and was promoted to associate professor in Fall 2001. He received his B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1987. He received his Ph. D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1992 from The Pennsylvania State University at University Park. His dissertation research was in the area of Shock Wave/Turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions conducted at the Penn State Gas Dynamic Laboratory under the guidance of Professor Gary Settles. He currently teaches courses in thermal sciences (thermodynamics, gas dynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer) and conducts experimental research in fluid dynamics at the Fluid Mechanics Research Laboratory. His research interests include shock boundary layer interactions, the aeroacoustics of high speed jets, including supersonic impinging jets, and the associated problems of compressible mixing and jet noise. Recently he has also been invovled in examining micro-scale flows and their applications including, the use of supersonic microjets for controlling large-scale flows. He is also interested in the development and use of diagnostics, especially non-intrusive optical techniques for fluid flows. *retrieved from http://aapl.fsu.edu/people/alvi/
Professor of Mechanical Engineering FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Prof. Oates received his M.S. and Ph. D. degrees in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He
spent two years as a post doctorate research associate at the Center for
Research in Scientific Computation in the Department of Mathematics at
North Carolina State University. His current research interests include
constitutive modeling of active materials as well as nonlinear control
of adaptive structures. He has conducted research in a wide range of
topics in theoretical, computational, and experimental solid mechanics
of ferroelectric and magnetostrictive materials. This includes:
fracture characterization of ferroelectric ceramics and relaxor single
crystals, anisotropic elasticity, phase field modeling of ferroelectric
thin films, stochastic homogenization techniques, and nonlinear control
of ferroic materials and actuators. He was the recipient of two best
paper awards for his contribution to piezoelectric fracture mechanics
(2003) and is a professional engineer in the state of North Carolina.
