Cosan Joe-Sean Daskiran

Cosan Joe-Sean Daskiran serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University, leading cutting-edge research in fluid dynamics with applications spanning renewable energy, environmental protection, and water treatment technologies. His work bridges computational simulations and experimental validation to address critical challenges in multiphase flows, transport phenomena, and energy-efficient systems.

Education:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University
• MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University

Daskiran's research program focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental characterization of complex fluid phenomena, including multiphase flows, turbulent flows, free-surface dynamics, and jet flows. His laboratory investigations target renewable energy harvesting systems, desalination technologies through centrifugal reverse osmosis, and oil spill response mechanisms, with particular attention to droplet formation, dispersion, and environmental interactions under wave conditions.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a dominant research trajectory centered on two interconnected themes: energy-efficient water desalination using centrifugal reverse osmosis systems integrated with tidal energy harvesting, and comprehensive oil spill dynamics modeling covering underwater jet behavior, droplet size distribution under wave action, and innovative in-situ burning techniques. These publications demonstrate rigorous methodology combining large eddy simulations, experimental fluid dynamics, and practical engineering applications.

Daskiran directs the Multiscale Fluid Physics Laboratory (MFPL) at Binghamton University, which maintains specialized experimental facilities for fluid dynamics research including wave tanks, high-speed imaging systems, and computational resources for multiphase flow simulations. The laboratory serves as an interdisciplinary hub for advancing fundamental fluid mechanics principles while developing solutions for environmental and energy challenges.
