From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fatemeh Hassanipour is an Iranian-American mechanical engineer whose research involves heat transfer and fluid mechanics, with applications ranging from solar water heating and bio-inspired heat exchangers[1] to modeling the human breast in lactation[2] and using infrared imaging to diagnose breast cancer.[3] She is a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas.[4]
Hassanipour has a 1998 bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Tehran.[5][6] She worked as a pipe stress engineer in oil extraction in Iran, as a consultant in Germany, in engineering management in France, and in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in the US,[1] before continuing her graduate education at Southern Methodist University. She completed her Ph.D. in 2009; her doctoral dissertation, A Particulate-flow Heat Exchanger Inspired by Gas Diffusion in Lung Capillaries, was supervised by José L. Lage.[6] In the same year she joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas.[7]
