pollution reduction technologies, propulsion concepts, gas
turbine and liquid rocket engines, combustion instability,
laser optical diagnostics, spectroscopy, supercritical
fluids and applications in environmental and propulsion
systems, advanced composites, MEMS, nanotechnology, and
micro fluidics. He has won many merit and leadership awards
by such prestigious organizations as the Society of
Automotive Engineers (1. Arch. T. Colwell Merit Award
for technical excellence only to top 1% yearly, 2. Ralph
R. Teetor Award for outstanding
teaching/research/leadership, 3. Forest R. McFarland
Award for sustained leadership in professional and
educational service and a key contributor to the Continuing
Professional Development Group, 4. Appreciation Award for 10
years of dedicated and inspiring service and
commitment to providing quality technical education, and
5. Outstanding Faculty Advisor),
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Best
Publication Award of the Year), Air Force Research
Laboratories (1. Outstanding Technical Publication Award,
and 2. STAR Team Award for demonstrating world-class
combined scientific and leadership achievements), Institute
of Liquid Atomization and Sprays Systems (Marshall Award

Propulsion Sub-committee of Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force (JANNAF)
(Best Liquid Propulsion Paper Award involving
undergraduate/graduate students), and the 2nd
International Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow
Phenomena (Top 10 Technical Publication Award). He has been a consultant
with many organizations such as, Ford, GM, Honda R&D, AFRL,
Honeywell, NASA, AFOSR, VW, Bosch, Siemens, NGK, Cummins,
and TRW. Through professional societies, Dr. Chehroudi
delivers invited professional seminars on Management of R&D
Teams and Organizations, Management of Innovation,
Combustion and Emission of Pollutants in Automotive and Gas
Turbine Engines, Ignition Issues, Gasoline Direct Injection
engines, R&D on Homogeneously-Charged Compression Ignition (HCCI)
engines, and Liquid Injection Technologies. He has a PhD in

(Princeton University), MS in Mechanical Engineering
(Southern Methodist University, Summa Cum Laude), MS
in Economics (Swiss Finance Institute, Magna Cum Laude),
a senior member of American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics Propellant & Combustion Committee
(2008-present), and is an Associate Fellow of American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Dr. Chehroudi
acts as a reviewer for many scientific and engineering
journals and publishers, has delivered over 200
presentations in technical meetings and to nontechnical
audiences, over 20 technical reports (Princeton University,
General Motors, Ford Motor Co, Department of Energy, NASA,
Air Force Research Laboratory), five 600-plus-page monographs on
combustion and emission of pollutants from mobile power
plants, ignition technologies, liquid material injection, and
nanotechnology, two book chapters on propulsion system
combustion instability and applications of graphene (a
nanotech product) in ignition and combustion of fuels,
ground-breaking patents on applications and synergy between
nanotechnology, light, and chemical reaction for a
light-activated distributed ignition of fuel-air mixtures, and
has more than 150 publications with extensive experience in both
scientific and management areas and intensive trainings in
finance and financial engineering
