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

Early life and education

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.[5]

Mankbadi earned his PhD in engineering from Brown University in 1979.

Career

Early in his career, Mankbadi served as a professor at Cairo University and Rutgers University.[6] [7] While teaching at Rutgers University, Mankbadi received the Rutgers University Faculty Merit Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching in 1984.[8] 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.[2] [5]

In 1988, Mankbadi was awarded the Presidential Medal of Science and Arts of the First Order in Egypt.[8] [6]

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.[2] [6] [5] He then became an Affiliated Professor at the Ohio Aerospace Institute.[5] From 1996 to 1999, Mankbadi was named an Ohio Board of Regents Professor.[6] [5]

Mankbadi became the Founding Dean of the Engineering College at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2002.[2] [6] [5] He continues to serve at Embry-Riddle as a professor of aeronautical engineering.[12] [13] [14]

In 2008, Mankbadi co-founded the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP),[7] 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.[5]

Research

Most of Mankbadi's research focuses on the areas of propulsion, turbulence, aeroacoustics, and energy.[2] 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,[2] the Journal of Energy Resources, and the Journal of Turbulence.[7]

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