| Joseph A. C. Humphrey | | Neal and Nancy Wade Professor of Engineering and Applied Science | | Chair, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | | (with joint appointment in the Department of Biology) | | Ph.D., Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London | , Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London| | | Dr. Humphrey has served on the faculty since 2000. He has
published over 120 archive journal papers, as well as numerous conference
papers and reports, on various aspects of momentum, heat and mass transfer in
laminar and turbulent flows with applications to natural and fabricated
systems. His professional affiliations include the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (Fellow), British Arachnological Society, Fulbright Alumni
Association, Pi Tau Sigma Society and Sigma Xi Society. He has held faculty
positions at the University of California at Berkeley, the University of
Arizona (chair of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering), and
Bucknell University (dean of engineering). | | | | Research Interests | | These center on experimental and theoretical investigations
of flow, heat and mass transport phenomena, including: measurement and
computational techniques; instability, transition, turbulence and
laminarization; two-phase flow and erosive wear; porous media transport
phenomena in brain and spinal column tissues; flow-structure interactions and
flow-induced vibrations; microsensors and sensing in arthropods. | | |
