Ghazal Barari

Dr. Ghazal Barari received her PhD in mechanical engineering from University of Central Florida. Her research was focused on combustion modeling of promising biofuels in order to find a suitable substitute for fossil fuels. She started her career as a tenure track assistant professor in the College of Engineering at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University at Prescott, Arizona where she was teaching mechanical and aerospace engineering Fluid mechanics and Thermodynamics courses. She joined ERAU-Worldwide College of Aeronautics as an assistant professor in 2018.
