Ingrid Paredes may be the newest Visiting Industry Assistant Professor in the General Engineering program, but she’s certainly not new to Tandon. And with all the city has to offer, we hope she won’t miss Buffalo too much! With Tandon’s focus on interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world impact, it sounds like a perfect match. Her aim, she explains, is to use computational methods to bridge the fields of biology, biomedicine and engineering, so that the knowledge gained can be used directly in practical applications. She’ll be teaching a mixture of fundamental courses in dynamics and more advanced offerings on topics like finite element analysis, a numerical method used to predict how a part or assembly behaves under given conditions - one of her particular areas of interest. This fall, however, she’ll be leaving Erie County for Brooklyn, as the newest faculty member in Tandon’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, where she’ll hold the title of Visiting Associate Professor. from Iran, she earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Buffalo (in 20, respectively), and she remained there to teach and conduct research involving size-dependent fluid mechanics theory and the numerical analysis of size-dependent continuum mechanics, among other topics. Our newest faculty members come to us from all over, but they have a few things in common: interesting backgrounds, research accomplishments, and a passion for teaching.Īrezoo Hajesfandiari Helping bridge disciplinesĪrezoo Hajesfandiari has deep ties to Buffalo.
