Phil Ligrani, Ph.D., is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.[1]

Career

Ligrani’s previous academic position was the Oliver L. Parks Endowed Chair,[2][3] and Director of Graduate Programs[4] at Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology. Prior to that, he was the Donald Schultz Professor of Turbomachinery in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. There, from 2006 to 2009, he was also Director of Oxford University’s Rolls-Royce UTC (University Technology Centre) in Heat Transfer and Aerodynamics, and a Professorial Fellow at St Catherine’s College.

Prior to his appointment at Oxford University, from 1994 to 2006, he was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, Director of the Convective Heat Transfer Laboratory, and Associate Department Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah.

Dr. Ligrani has also held a temporary faculty position at the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Belgium, and a Visiting Senior Research Fellowship at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London.

Dr. Ligrani joined Parks College in July 2010.

Research

As of March 2013, Dr. Ligrani is author or co-author of more than 147 publications in archival journals, eight book chapters, as well as approximately 99 conference publications and presentations.

His archival journal publications have appeared in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, the ASME Transactions-Journal of Turbomachinery, the ASME Transactions-Journal of Heat Transfer, the ASME Transactions-Journal of Fluids Engineering, the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, the AIAA Journal, Experiments in Fluids, Physics of Fluids, the AIAA Journal of Heat Transfer and Thermophysics, the International Journal of Rotating Machinery, Separation Science and Technology, Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, and the Journal of Microcolumn Separations.

From 1994 to 2013, he presented approximately 116 lectures at different institutions and establishments, including many invited lectures. He has been the primary advisor for a total of 80 graduate students completing Ph.D., M.E., M.S. degrees, and Turbomachinery Diplomas.

As of April 2013, total active funding level on all projects at Saint Louis University, where Dr. Ligrani is the Principal Investigator, is approximately $1.46 million.
