Joseph IannelliJoseph Iannelli is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Washington State University, Washington's land-grant university, and possesses over 25 years of experience in teaching, research, and development in Gas Dynamics, Finite Element Methods, andScientific and Engineering Computing, with emphasis on the computation of subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flows. He is the recipient of several professional awards, including an Exxon Professorship, an Alumni Association Outstanding Teaching recognition, and served as co-director of the historically first British Centre for Aeronautics at the City University, London. After investigating CFD algorithms for reactive flows at ICOMP, NASA Lewis, now Glenn, his research on characteristics based Finite Element Methods led to his first full-length textbook on CFD in 2006. He also synthesized over 20 software packages in object-oriented C++ to implement and teach several Finite Element algorithms. He has presented his CFD research domestically and internationally, in Asia and Europe, and he is now leading the establishment of a transatlantic computational mechanics program involving his university, industry, and Sweden's National Supercomputer Center to inspire a new generation of domestic and international students towards CFD.
