Bio:
Ehsan Ameri is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Merced, specializing in propulsion, aerodynamics, turbomachinery, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, with a particular research focus on wildfire dynamics and fire spread. His research combines experimental methods, computational fluid dynamics, and advanced diagnostics to investigate fire behavior under wind conditions.At UC Merced, he has designed and assembled subsonic fire wind tunnels and conducted more than 1,000 controlled wildfire experiments, with peer-reviewed publications on wildfire spread and fire safety. Prior to UC Merced, he conducted aerospace research at Amirkabir University of Technology, where he designed and experimentally investigated a boundary-layer suction system for a cascade wind tunnel as part of his M.S. research in Aerospace Engineering (Propulsion).

Ehsan also has extensive teaching experience and currently serves as a Lecturer at both the University of California, Merced, and San José State University. He holds an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering (Propulsion) from Amirkabir University of Technology and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology.
