 | Christopher Stipe, Ph.D.Associate Professor
Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Vitae Contact InformationTeaching and Research InterestsDr. Stipe teaches 200-level mechanics, 300-level heat transfer, and 400-level dynamic systems and Jr/Sr electives in combustion and renewable energy. His research interests include the production and characterization of combustion generated nanoparticles, development of laser diagnostics for combustion, and hydrogen combustion.
In 2005, Dr. Stipe received a $150,000 grant through the NSF Major Research Instrumentation program to create a laboratory to study the effects of nanoparticles on global climate change. Dr. Stipe collaborates on research with the Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). He has presented his work both nationally and internationally and has several publications.BiographyDr. Stipe received his B.S. degree from Montana State University at Bozeman in 1998. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Professor Stipe’s research interests include renewable energy, combustion pollution, and nano/biotechnology. After graduating from MSU, he worked at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, conducting structural testing on wind turbine blades in Boulder, Colorado. For his Ph.D. research, he developed laser techniques to measure and generate nanoparticles at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Upon completing his Ph.D., he conducted research in neuron guidance at the University of Minnesota as a NIH Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with an interdisciplinary team from Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, and Neuroscience.
