Anand Sharan
B.Eng. (I.I.T.),
M.Eng. (Washington), PhD (Concordia)
Professor
I completed my undergraduate education in metallurgical engineering
from I.I.T. in Bombay, India, a prestigious institution known
worldwide in the field of engineering. I did two masters degrees, one
in materials science and another in mechanical engineering from the
Washington State University. I worked in industry for several years
in the US and Canada before doing my PhD at Concordia University in
mechanical engineering in 1982. Since then, I have been with the
Memorial University and presently I am a professor in faculty of
engineering.
I have had a variety of industrial and research experiences in the
areas of energy, environment, machine tools, robots, and rotor
dynamics which include turbines used in aircrafts, and power
generation industry. I think I am best known for my research in the
field of solar energy. I have published over 100 research papers
which include patents and inventions. I am a fellow of American
Society for Mechanical Engineers.
