Reda R. Mankbadi is the founding Dean of the Engineering College at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.[1] He is a former NASA senior scientist at NASA's Glenn Research Center[2] and a Fellow of the NASA Lewis Research Academy.[3] Mankbadi has published over 150 scientific papers.[4][5]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Mankbadi grew up in a Coptic Christian household between Cairo and Upper Egypt. He first attended Franciscan Catholic School but then transferred to public schools. He received a BS degree in Engineering from Cairo University.[6]

Mankbadi earned his PhD in engineering from Brown University in 1979.[7]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Early in his career, Mankbadi served as a professor at Cairo University and Rutgers University.[1][8] While teaching at Rutgers University, Mankbadi received the Rutgers University Faculty Merit Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching in 1984.[7] Mankbadi was a Fulbright scholar in 1986.[9] In 1986, he also served as a Visiting Associate Professor at Brown University. In the following year, he served as a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.[3][6]

In 1988, Mankbadi was awarded the Presidential Medal of Science and Arts of the First Order in Egypt.[7][1]

Eventually, Mankbadi served as a senior scientist at NASA's Glenn Research Center.[10][11] He was also appointed a fellow of the NASA Lewis Research Academy in 1990.[3][1][6] He then became an Affiliated Professor at the Ohio Aerospace Institute.[6] From 1996 to 1999, Mankbadi was named an Ohio Board of Regents Professor.[1][6]

Mankbadi became the Founding Dean of the Engineering College at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2002.[3][1][6] He continues to serve at Embry-Riddle as a distinguished professor of aeronautical engineering.[12][13][14]

In 2008, Mankbadi co-founded the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP),[8] which was established by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in collaboration with Florida State University, the University of Central Florida, and the University of Florida.[15] He currently serves as the ERAU director for FCAAP.[6]

Research

[edit | edit source]

Most of Mankbadi's research focuses on the areas of propulsion, turbulence, aeroacoustics, and energy.[3] He has developed a theory for the coherent structures in turbulent flows,[16][17][18] and has led the NASA's development of computational aeroacoustics.[19][20]

Mankbadi has also developed computation tools such as Hi-Fidelity Large-Eddy-Simulations for simulating turbulence[21][18] and aeroacoustics.[22][23]

Mankbadi has served as an associate editor for scholarly journals such as the International Journal of Aeroacoustics,[3] the Journal of Energy Resources, and the Journal of Turbulence.[8]

Mankbadi is included in the top 2% of world scientists for career scholarly impact in a study by Stanford University.[24]
