Research Statement

Professor Emery specializes in the areas of architectural heat transfer, finite element methods, numerical analysis, and thermal stresses. He is also interested in air conditioning and heating, human comfort, biological heat transfer, fracture, dynamic motion of elastic and plastic shells, radiation gas dynamics, separated and supersonic flow, and free and forced convection.
