Steven W. Day

Dr. Steven W. Day holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia as well as a diploma from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Belgium. He joined the faculty of KGCOE at RIT in 2005. Dr. Day has taught courses in mechanical and biomedical engineering programs and is active in guiding multidisciplinary senior design teams and advising graduate theses. He strives to promote critical thinking in his students and involves both undergraduates and graduate students in his research.

Dr.Steven's research and expertise deals with the application methods in experimental and computational fluid mechanics to a range of applied and biological flows. This includes collaborations with biologists, medical doctors, and industry partners. Dr.Steven have successfully continued collaborations formed prior to RIT and have contributed to new projects that involve the application of engineering methods to complex biological systems. This has led to successful funded research programs through government and industry partners that have supported many undergraduate and Master's level students.
