He received the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator (YIP) Award, Army Research Office Young Investigator (YIP) Award, and the NSF CAREER Award. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the ASME Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage, and served as an associate editor for the International Journal of Thermal Sciences and ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, and on the editorial board of Scientific Reports and several other journals. He has given over 120 plenary, keynote and invited lectures in the United States and abroad.
Topic of Keynote: Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Architected Open Cell Foams
Keynote Abstract
Dr. Wagdi G. Habashi
McGill University, Canada
Keynote Speaker
Wagdi Habashi is a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of McGill University and directs its Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. He has held 3 successive 5-year NSERC Industrial Research Chairs with Bombardier (aircraft), Bell (helicopters), CAE (flight simulators), and Lockheed Martin (hypersonic civil transport).
Professor Habashi holds a Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering from Cornell and has a lifetime of international collaboration with Aerospace OEMs, with more than 400 publications at least one-third of them jointly with industrial partners.
Dr. Habashi established Newmerical Technologies International Inc. (NTI); the developer of the FENSAP-ICE 3D In-Flight Icing Simulation System currently used in close to 30 countries. NTI’s assets were acquired by ANSYS in 2015 to boost its icing simulation capabilities. Following this, Professor Habashi created CERTIF-ICE Inc., a one-stop shop for all aspects of in-flight icing certification. CERTIF-ICE successfully conducted in Canada the natural icing campaigns of COMAC’s ARJ21 (Regional Jet) and AVIC’s Y-12F (Turboprop).
Habashi is a Knight of the Order of Québec, a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences of the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and Pratt & Whitney Canada.
He is the recipient of a number of scientific and industrial awards.
