Dr. Abraham Mansouri joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at AUD in Fall 2011. His research spans a wide range of topics in pure and applied science including interfacial phenomena (contact angle measurements, interpretations and surface characterization), microfluidics, electrokinetics, and energy conversion. His research interests have broadened during his doctoral studies through collaboration with the National Institute of Nanotechnology (NINT) in Edmonton, Canada, and the Institute of Analytical Science in Dortmund, Germany. Prior to joining AUD, Dr. Mansouri worked in Calgary for NOVA Chemicals, the largest producer of polymer in North America, as a research engineer in the area of fluid dynamics. He also worked for the HVAC division of Mitsubishi Electric in Vancouver, on various energy modeling and design projects in support of their City Multi VRF heat pump and heat recovery systems
