Peyman Givi
University of Pittsburgh
Profile
Peyman Givi received his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Youngstown State University, then his M.E. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University. Before joining the University of Pittsburgh, he held the rank of University Distinguished Professor in Aerospace Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is amongst the first 15 engineering faculty nationwide who received the White House Presidential Faculty Fellowship from President George Bush. He also received the Young Investigator Award of the Office of Naval Research and the Presidential Young Investigator Award of the National Science Foundation among others.
Research
Dr. Givi’s areas of research interest are: turbulence, combustion, thermal-fluids, computational methods and stochastic processes. He is currently the Deputy Editor of AIAA Journal and a member of the editorial boards of Computers & Fluids, Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, and Open Aerospace Engineering Journal. He is also the Book Review Editor of AIAA Journal, an Associate Editor of Journal of Combustion, and a past advisory board member of Progress in Energy and Combustion Science. Professor Givi is Fellow of AIAA, APS and ASME.
