معرفی
Dr. Kelly Huang is the Kalsi Assistant Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the University of Houston. She holds affiliations with the College of Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Her research focuses on environmental fluid mechanics, turbulence, sensing techniques, and boundary-layer meteorology, with current projects exploring wind-wave-vegetation interactions and high-resolution sensor development.
Education includes a Ph.D. and M.A. from Princeton University and a B.S. from Cornell University. She has held a postdoctoral position at the University of Notre Dame and maintains professional memberships in the American Physical Society and American Geophysical Union. Her teaching includes courses like Thermodynamics and Environmental Fluid Dynamics.
Key research interests revolve around fog dynamics, turbulence modeling, and atmospheric boundary layer processes. Her recent work has advanced understanding of coastal fog genesis mechanisms and fog intermittency through field campaigns like FATIMA. Huang's team develops novel sensors such as the Super Combo Probe for high-resolution atmospheric measurements.
