Room 229, 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 a Professor and Chair of Mechanical
Engineering Department,
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.
Two US patents have been awarded due to his recent development of the
microjet-based flow control research. 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. |
