| 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 and computational investigation of
multiphase flows with applications including sprays, liquid breakup,
boundary-driven flows, chemical reactions and phase transition processes.
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.
