Professor Dr. Farzad Ismail

Research Background

Professor Dr. Farzad Ismail completed his extensive academic training from his undergraduate degree up to his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, USA, followed by a post-doctoral research tenure at the University of Iowa, USA. His primary research framework covers theoretical foundations, algorithmic breakthroughs, and advanced industrial application modeling within Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Over more than 20 years in the field, his group focuses on mapping fluid transport with complex heat transfer dynamics by utilizing strict mathematical modeling, partial differential equations, and large-scale parallel numerical analysis. He leads the USM-Aerospace-CFD research group, integrating students and faculty across multiple engineering, physics, and applied mathematics domains.
