Prof. Krzanowski's specialization is in the field of Materials Science. Before coming to UNH, he held engineering and research positions with IBM and the U.S. Army Materials Research Laboratory. His research interests are currently focused on the development and fabrication of thin-film coatings. Work is currently being carried out to develop a simple process for coating materials with titanium carbide, a hard, wear-resistant material. The mechanical properties of metallic thin films and multilayers are also being investigated. Dr. Krzanowski also specializes in the use of advanced methods for characterizing the properties of materials, such as electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction.

Prof. Krzanowski teaches Materials Science courses in the Department, including ME 561 - Introduction to Materials Science, ME 760/MS 860 - Physical Metallurgy, ME 761 - Diffraction and Imaging Methods in Materials Science, ME 762/MS 862- Electronic Materials Science and ME 763/MS 863 - Thin Film Science and Technology. He also administers the Materials Science Minor.

Research Areas

Prof. Chini's research interests are in the allied fields of fluid dynamics and physical applied mathematics. His research involves the mathematical modeling of geophysical, environmental, biological and industrial flows. The existence and stability of coherent features (e.g. nonlinear waves, vortices, and boundary layers) in such flows are of particular interest. Using hybrid analytical-numerical techniques (e.g. asymptotic and spectral methods), he aims to develop simplified models of complex fluid-mechanical systems; these models are used for identifying key physical processes and for purposes of prediction, design, and control. His specific areas of interest include:

  • Geophysical (especially Oceanographic), Environmental, Biological and Industrial Fluid Dynamics

B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Ohio State University, 1975

Prof. Fussell received his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1987, specializing in system modeling and control. Since 1987, he has been with the ME department at UNH. His work experience outside the university includes 2 years as a product engineer for the Timken Company, a summer working for the Air Force as a visiting scientist, and a sabbatical semester as a visiting professor at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. He currently maintains an active research program and co-directs the Design and Manufacturing Laboratory with Professor Robert Jerard (Design & Manufacturing Lab website).

Prof. Fussell has taught a large variety of courses at UNH. Currently, he teaches the following courses on a regular basis:

  • ME670 – Systems Modeling and Controls
  • ME747 – Complex Systems and Measurements
  • ME770 – Design with Microprocessors
  • ME773 – Electromechanical Analysis and Design
  • ME951 – Advanced Control Systems I

Research Areas

Prof. Fussell has two main areas of research. His manufacturing research interests include: smart machining systems, cutting force modeling, model uncertainty, tool condition monitoring, chatter detection and control, wireless sensors, and process control. His research has been funded by NSF, Air Force, SME and industry. For more information, please visit the Design & Manufacturing Lab website.

His other area of research is in electromechanical analysis and design, concentrating on brushless, stepper, and reluctance motors. This work has been funded by industry.

A short descriptive list of his research interests is given below:

  • Smart machining system that integrate models, sensor data, and computer control
  • Modeling and control of computer numerical control (CNC) machining
  • Model uncertainty and its effect on process planning/control
  • Machining chatter detection and control
  • Electromechanical design including brushless and stepper motors
