Khosrow Ebrahimi

Dr. Khosrow Ebrahimi joined Minnesota State University, Mankato in August 2018. In his current position, he teaches a wide variety of courses in ME curriculum including Statics, Dynamics, Engineering Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Applied Thermodynamics, Thermal Systems Design, Thermal-Fluid Experimentation, and HVAC Design. Before joining MNSU Mankato, he worked for one year as a full-time lecturer at Boise State University (BSU). He taught Dynamics, Kinematics & Machine Dynamics, and Heat Transfer during his career at BSU. In addition to the teaching experiences outlined above, Khosrow taught System Dynamics and Control I & II, Machine Design, and Thermal-Fluids Science in his previous position as an instructor at Rowan University. He also instructed a graduate course on Computational Fluid Mechanics in Mechanical Engineering Department at Villanova University in spring semester of 2017.

Dr. Ebrahimi obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Kansas State University(K-State) in 2012. Between 2012 and 2016, he worked as post-doctoral research fellow, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) consultant, and Thermal-Fluids Laboratory Instructor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Villanova University.
