Squires

Dr. Kyle D. Squires is a Professor and currently serves as Interim Director of the School of Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical and Materials Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. Dr. Squires earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 1990; he was a post-doctoral research associate at the Center for Turbulence Research from 1990-1991 where he worked on subgrid-scale modeling of compressible turbulence. His first faculty appointment was in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Vermont beginning in 1991. He joined the faculty at Arizona State University in 1997 as an Associate Professor and was appointed to Full Professor in 2003. Professor Squires' research expertise encompasses computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling of both single-phase and multi-phase flows, and high-performance computing. Specific interests include the use of direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation applied to particle-laden turbulent flows and the development of hybrid Reynolds-averaged and large eddy simulation techniques for high Reynolds number wall-bounded flows. Professor Squires applies his expertise to exploration of ways to improve the aerodynamics of aircraft, ground vehicles, and sports equipment. Dr. Squires has held numerous visiting appointments in the US, Japan, and Europe and was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2008.
