Track B - Computational Fluid Dynamics & Heat Transfer
1:15 PM - 3:15 PM Wed
Nicholas DiZinno holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida (1994). While working extensively in the aerospace simulation and transportation industries, he returned to graduate school part-time at the (then) Polytechnic University. In 2006, he earned a Master of Science degree from Poly, completing a research-oriented thesis on the numerical simulation of non-linear pressure wave propagation in gases. Upon entering the PhD program at Poly, he was appointed an instructor in the Engineering Technology department of Queensborough Community College, City University of New York. He earned a NYS Professional Engineers license in 2009, and was then promoted to Assistant Professor at QCC. Dr. DiZinno successfully completed his doctorate in 2015 from the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering (which has subsequently been renamed the Tandon School of Engineering). His dissertation was on numerical techniques to solve the Navier-Stokes Equations and their application to Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. From 2015 – 2018 he was Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the State University of New York (SUNY) Maritime College. Currently, he is Industry Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at NYU Tandon, where he conducts research in the numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer problems. He is a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) and a member or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
