Christopher Douglas' research and teaching in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science focuses on thermo-fluid mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. He develops theoretical and numerical methods to analyze, understand, and engineer the behavior of high-dimensional nonlinear systems. His work includes fluid motion that couples thermal, chemical, acoustic, elastic, and physical effects to solve complex problems arising in various engineering applications such as turbines, rockets, and energy systems, as well as natural phenomena like weather systems and supernovae. He has a particular interest in energy conversion and pollutant emissions abatement, with a focus on alternative energy carriers such as hydrogen and ammonia. Dr. Douglas has published numerous articles exploring these themes and is actively involved in projects that assess techno-economic factors and environmental impacts in engineering contexts.
