Room 234, College of Engineering Building 2525 Pottsdamer Street, Tallahassee, FL 32310 Tel: (850)410-6321, Fax: (850)410-6337, Email: shih@eng.fsu.edu Dr. Chiang Shih is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Aerospace Engineering Department at University of Southern California in 1988. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering in August, 1988. Dr. Shih's research interests are in the areas of unsteady aerodynamics, separated flow control, aeroacoustics, and optical diagnostic techniques. In recent years, he has developed an interest in the application of MEMS(Micro Electo Mechanical Systems)-fabricated devices for flow control. For example, he has been working on the active flow control of supersonic impinging jets, which is critical in the development of the proposed Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft. He proposed the use of MEMS-based microjets to control the self-sustaining oscillations induced by the global instabilities of the impinging jets. He has also been involved in the development of the micro-PIV system to be used in micro-flow diagnostics. This technique is useful for the detailed characterization of the micro flow behaviors and this is important for the optimal design of these micro-devices. In addition to fundamental researches, he has also been working on industrial-related problems. He is currently working on a NSF-sponsored project on the on-line monitoring and optimization of the liquid Composite Molding process. Dr. Shih has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in the
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering since August 1988. He has
been awarded the Golden Gear Awards twice by the ASME student
chapter.
He has also received a Teacher Incentive Award from Florida State
University in 1994.
Recently, he has been awarded the first ever Chair’s Award for
Excellence in Teaching for his efforts in the Development of an Integrated
Curriculum in Thermal and Fluid Sciences. He is
also very active in developing innovative concepts for teaching
enhancement. He was
awarded two teaching grants from NSF for his efforts in the improvement of
undergraduate education.
