Clarkson Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor Publishes 800th Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Clarkson University’s Robert H. Hill Professor of Mechanical Engineering Goodarz Ahmadi recently published his 806th peer-reviewed journal article.
Ahmadi, whose areas of research include fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, computational fluid mechanics, aerosol transport and deposition, and other related topics, published “Selecting the Safe Area and Finding Proper Ventilation in the Spread of the COVID-19 Virus” in the Journal of Energies as his 800th journal publication.
Ahmadi has been at Clarkson since 1982, and his research has been supported by federal agencies, namely, the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, EPA, and Air Force Office of Scientific Research, as well as several industries including GE, IBM, Corning, Xerox, Kodak, and Dura Pharmaceutical.
Ahmadi is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a fellow of the American Society of Thermal and Fluid Engineering (ASTFE). He received the 2016 ASME Freeman Scholar Award in Fluid Mechanics and ASME Fluid Engineering 90th Anniversary Medal. He was inducted into Phalanx, Clarkson’s highest honor society, in 2015 and was the recipient of the Clarkson Lifetime Research Achievement Award in 2015. He also received The Phalanx Commendable Leadership Award (2015), Clarkson’s Outstanding Advisor Award (1986, 1988, 2002), the Clarkson Distinguished Teaching Award (1988), Pi Tau Sigma Distinguished Teaching Award (1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 2021), and Martin Luther King Jr. Award (2023). He has been a member of the University’s Five Million Dollar Club since 2006. Ahmadi has also co-authored four books, with his recent book on fluid and particle dynamics in the human respiratory system published in 2013. He has also given more than 1,340 presentations, including 196 plenary and keynote lectures, and invited talks at international conferences worldwide. His h-index is 78. He also serves on the editorial board and the Editorial Advisory Board of twelve international journals. He holds five patents.
Ahmadi says, “I love and enjoy teaching and research. It is always a pleasure to work with undergraduate and graduate students and my colleagues at Clarkson. Working here has been a lot of fun.”
