Sohaib Obeid

Sohaib Obeid serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering within the College of Engineering, Business & Education at the University of Bridgeport. His office is located in the Engineering & Technology Building, Room #133, and he can be contacted at sobeid@bridgeport.edu.

His academic credentials include:

• B.Sc. in aerospace engineering from the Military Technical College, Egypt
• M.Sc. in aerospace engineering from the University of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and the University of Khartoum, Sudan
• DET in fluids and transfers from Ecole Nationale Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l’ espace, Toulouse, France
• Ph.D. in Mechanical engineering from Clarkson University, USA

Dr. Obeid's research spans aerospace engineering, fluid dynamics, and computational methods with significant contributions to aerodynamic performance analysis, active flow control systems, and environmental fluid dynamics. His work integrates theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation to address challenges in aviation and public health. He maintains active research interests in RANS simulations, NARMAX-based control algorithms for airfoil flow separation, and the transport dynamics of respiratory aerosols in indoor environments. His interdisciplinary approach bridges traditional aerospace engineering with contemporary public health concerns, particularly in airborne disease transmission.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a clear evolution from fundamental aerospace applications toward interdisciplinary environmental health research. Early work focused on aerodynamic optimization of airfoils and turbomachinery using computational fluid dynamics, while recent publications demonstrate increasing engagement with public health applications through aerosol transport modeling. This trajectory reflects growing recognition of fluid dynamics' role in understanding disease transmission pathways.
