Ron M. Nelson

Hi. I'm a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Iowa State University. My email, postal address, and phone number are on my Official Homepage that is maintained by the ME department.

I generally teach undergraduate courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, and graduate courses in Thermodynamics (ME 530), Thermal Systems Optimization (ME 545) and Solar Thermal Energy Systems. My research is in the application of machine intelligence to building energy systems and related topics.

There is a very interesting Complex Adaptive Systems Workshop that meets every week at ISU.

Take a look at my UI-view APRS web page.  My amateur radio call sign is KN0R.
