Congratulations to CIVS RA Misbahhuddin Syed on receiving his MSME degree and starting a new job at a company in NW Indiana. At CIVS, his research focused on CFD simulation of reheat furnaces. This allowed him to blend rigorous academic knowledge with practical industrial applications and to learn problem-solving skills. He analyzed fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion, scale formation, and stresses within the furnaces to optimize their efficiency.  He also explored induction heating to reduce CO2 emissions.

Misbah successfully defended his thesis titled “Numerical Simulation of Induction and Combustion-Based Reheat Furnaces” on July 29th in the CIVS Immersive Theater. He also accomplished highlightable achievements such as:

Receiving a research grant in 2023 for his paper “Simulating Induction Heating of Steel Products using a Harmonic Balance Model”
Presenting his poster at PNW Days of Discovery 2024 entitled “Scale Formation in the Reheat Furnace”
Serving as President of The Material Advantage Club

The Material Advantage Club was made by and for students seeking to optimize their materials engineering journey. It provides students with access to multiple prominent materials-based societies. This empowers students to enhance their academic pursuits and establish a strong basis for professional engagement after graduation.
