معرفی
Brian Helenbrook is a Professor and the Paynter-Krigman Endowed Chair in Engineering Science Simulation at Clarkson University’s Coulter School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. He also serves as Associate Dean of Continuing & Professional Education. His expertise spans numerical simulation techniques for fluid flows and heat transfer, with a focus on adaptive ALE finite element methods. Research applications include solidification modeling for silicon/aluminum manufacturing, droplet dynamics, and aerodynamic optimization of Olympic luge sleds.
- Education: B.S. from University of Notre Dame (1991), Ph.D. from Princeton University (1997)
- Postdoctoral: Stanford University (Applied Strategic Computing Initiative)
- Fellowships: NASA Langley (2002), NASA Kennedy (2005)
Research Interests emphasize high-order accuracy simulations, multiphase flows, and interdisciplinary applications like ducted wind turbines and crystal growth. He has published 50+ peer-reviewed articles and mentored 22 graduate students (13 Ph.D., 9 M.S.).
Awards include Clarkson’s Distinguished Teaching Award (2014), τβπ and πτσ teaching accolades, and membership in the Million Dollar Club recognizing $1M+ in research funding.
Grants: Supported by NSF, NASA, AFOSR, NYS Energy, and industry. Active in the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) and Institute for a Sustainable Environment.
Labs/Teams: Leads projects in thermal simulation, reduced-order modeling, and fluid-structure interaction.
