Mehdi Mortazavi

Welcome!
Mehdi Mortazavi is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Western New England University (WNE). He earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech University in 2014. His area of expertise is energy-thermo-fluids systems and particularly he has studied transport phenomena in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell during his graduate studies. As an experimentalist in fluid mechanics and thermal sciences, Mortazavi has designed and fabricated multiple research experimental setups to investigate different aspects of transport phenomena in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. He has academic and industrial work experience in designing and analyzing energy-thermo-fluids systems.
