| Experience |
- Franz
Tanner joined the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan
Technological University in the Fall of 1999 following an appointment
as a senior scientist at the Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory of
the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ).
His main research activities include the modeling of multiphase
phenomena
in reacting fluid flows and computational investigations of flow, spray
and combustion processes in reciprocating engines. His work involves
interdisciplinary
projects with industry, research institutes and universities.
Franz
Tanner's previous
professional activities
include computational investigations for the European space shuttle
project
HERMES, development and application of pattern recognition methods in
defense
related work as well as theoretical and computational investigations
for
optimal control problems. His teaching experience includes topics in
Mathematics,
Engineering and Computer Science.
Franz Tanner maintains
collaborations with
partners from academia and industry and is a member of SAE, SIAM,
ILASS-Americas
and the American Mathematical Society.
