Mohsen Zayernouri is currently an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Statistics and Probability at Michigan State University (MSU). He joined MSU in Fall 2015, where he established and began to direct the Fractional Mathematics for Anomalous Transport and Hydromechanics (FMATH) group. Dr. Zayernouri obtained a second MSc. and a second Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Brown University under the mentorship of Prof. George Em Karniadakis in 2015. Prior to joining MSU, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University as well. However, even before Mother Nature bent his life pathway into this deeper academic direction, Dr. Zayernouri has been always a passionate mechanical engineer too! He acquired his first M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Tehran Polytechnic, Iran, in 2006 and subsequently, he joined the University of Utah, where he acquired his first Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2010.His hobbies include performing music, calligraphy, reading, meditation, traveling, and hiking.
Dr. Zayernouri’s research and approach to computational fluids/solid mechanics in addition to data-driven anomalous transport/fluids/materials at MSU have been well received by the research community, also the US federal funding agencies. He has received to date the total $1.85M single-PI research awards/grants from US AFOSR YIP-1, US ARO YIP-2, US ARO MURI, US ARL Seed Grant, and NSF/DOE-AMPS Awards.
