THE SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE
A professor in the School of Engineering at St. Thomas University, John joined that faculty in 2002 on completing his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota. His academic specialties are heat transfer, fluid mechanics and computational methods. In case these subjects make you feel uncomfortable, don't be intimidated. John is in great demand as a public speaker on the subject of climate change and knows how to tailor his presentations for lay audiences. You will surely find his talk as well as the Q&A period following it both enlightening and enjoyable.
John's career has included work with a wide variety of academic and industrial projects, as well as with the Department of Energy at Los Alamos National Laboratory and as a researcher on a National Science Foundation grant. His publication record is rich and remarkable.
