About Me

Welcome to my webpage!  I, Joseph, am a newly minted Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Evansville. I recently received my doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. With an undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering, I have had a broad engineering education with specific focus on fluid mechanics and heat transfer. My research interests center around the numerical analysis of micro- and nano-scale fluid evaporation and condensation through which I have demonstrated scholarly potential.

As an aspiring engineering educator, I pursued opportunities to teach in a variety of capacities at UT in freshmen engineering fundamentals, upper division coursework, and even a senior capstone design project. My experiences have challenged me professionally, allowed me to demonstrate my potential, and confirmed my passion for teaching. I feel that one of the most important components of my own engineering education was the professional and personal mentorship provided by my dedicated professors.  My goal as an educator is to learn to serve my new students in the same capacity.
