Daniel Fust
Daniel is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering starting Fall 2022. He comes to Oregon State from University of California, Davis with a Master's degree in Mechcanical Engineering. He worked as a R&D engineer at Omiquest from 2000-2022. His MS thesis was titled "Spline-based methods for boundary-layer calculations." For his PhD research, he will be working on numerical algorithm development for direct/large-eddy simulation of turbulent mass and momentum transport over porous, sediment beds.
Nathan Keane
Nathan is a Ph.D. (expected 2025) student in Center for Earth, Ocean, Atmospheric Sciences and is being co-advised by Prof. Apte (in Mechancial Engineering) and Prof. Greg Wilson (CEOAS). He comes to Oregon State from University of California, Santa Cruz with a Master's degree in Scientific Computing. He will be investigating sediment-turbulence interactions in coastal environments using large-eddy simulation together with discrete element modeling. His project is funded by NSF's Physical Oceanography division .
Phurin (Gabe) Nilket
Gabe is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering starting Fall 2024. He comes to Oregon State from Thailand. He got his Batchelor's degree from Chulalongkorn University and also continued for his Master's degree at same place under the supervision of Prof. Saran Salakij, a graduate of Oregon State with doctorate in ME.
Mustafa (Rami) Aljaberry
Rami is completing his BS (Fall 2024) and is continuing under the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in Mechanical Engineering. He did an internship at Los Alamos National Lab in Summer 2024.
Sakib Shondhi
Sakib is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University starting Fall 2024. He completed his Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University under the supervision of Dr. Hua Tan, with an MS thesis titled, `Off-Centered Impact of Droplet on a Microholed Hydrophilic Substrate.' He previously earned his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Hallie Coleman
Hallie is a MS student in Mechanical Engineering starting in Fall 2024. She completed her BS in March at Oregon State University.
Jason Hillier
"Jason is a Masters student at Oregon State University expecting to graduate in 2025. He previously completed his BSME at OSU where he participated in the MECOP internship program as well as competed in the NASA USLI rocket competition and volunteered with the High Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) rocket team. His MS research involves data analysis and modeling of particles settling in isotropic turbulence."
