Biography
Indrek S. Wichman is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His principal area of research is combustion. Forays have also been made into heat transfer in composite materials, Green Roof analysis, solid mechanics, education research, and into writing --- with Professor Pence --- a graduate-level textbook on applied mathematics for engineers. Dr. Wichman's research uses analytical and numerical modeling techniques as well as direct experimental methods. The main combustion topic
