Dr. Alexander is the Cady Staley Professor Engineering and Chair of the Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Alexander’s research interests now cover a
number of topics ranging from the physics and mechanics of fluid interfaces, computational fluid
mechanics and energy transport to crystal growth and solidification. This work has produced over a
120 refereed papers. For the last thirty years his research has included theoretical studies,
computational simulations and experiments, particularly those processes associated with materials
preparation and also with fluid surface dynamics. He was also involved with 5 space experiments,
three involving semiconductor crystal growth, one liquid diffusion experiment and an acceleration
measurement experiment. Dr. Alexander serves on a number of national committees, is currently
Chair of ASME’s Water Technology Committee, is an AIAA associate fellow and has chaired two
Gordon Research Conferences (Gravitational Effects in Physical-Chemical Systems and Thin Film and
Crystal Growth Mechanisms), and is internationally recognized for his work on microgravity fluid
processes. He has over 20 years of experience in the management and coordination of multi-million
dollar research projects.
From 2005-2010 he was the director of the National Center for Space Exploration Research (NCSER),
a research center that is collocated at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. At the NCSER he was directly
involved in implementing the center’s vision to become a focal point for fluids and combustion
research on fluid and transport processes in space exploration technologies and advanced human
support systems under weightless and reduced gravity to provide a knowledge base for the design of
future space exploration systems and technologies. Dr. Alexander was awarded NASA’s Exceptional
Service Medal in August 2008.
Under his leadership Case Western Reserve University established the ‘Great Lakes Energy Institute’
in 2007. The purpose of the institute is to develop, through farsighted energy research and energy-use
strategies, innovative energy technology platforms that will provide low cost, reliable and sustainable
energy resources and by implementing short-term solutions today, build and sustain tomorrow’s
industries.

Current Research Interests and Experience
• Physico-chemical transport in energy systems
• Wind Array dynamics and performance
• Computational simulation of wind turbines, wind arrays and acoustic noise generation
• Energy harvesting with small scale devices, (electrical current generation from fluid interactions
with carbon nanotube arrays, graphene and ZnO nanowires)
• Dynamics of two phase miscible and immiscible fluids
• Dynamics and static behavior of fluid surfaces and interfaces
• Simulation of bone growth using Monte-Carlo techniques
Previous Research
• Processing of high quality CdTe semiconductors (co-investigator on a space experiment flown on
USML-2, in October 1995) numerical simulation of transport and dewetting phenomena.
• Flow and transport in cell culture bioreactors
• Stochastic models for the prediction of microstructure in binary eutectic systems.
• Nonlinear analysis of the morphological stability of a solidifying binary alloy, with latent heat
effects at the solid-fluid interface.
• The determination of the residual acceleration environment in Spacelab and problems associated
with reduction and dissemination of residual acceleration data taken from low earth-orbit spacecraft.
• Passive Accelerometer Experiment: acceleration measurements using a novel accelerometer on the
MIR space station
• Formulation of a mathematical model of the microgravity field in a spacecraft, including the effects
of variable spacecraft attitude and atmospheric drag. Examination of the model’s effect on free
particle motion and fluid motion.
• Thermodynamics of surfaces in solid-liquid and two-phase solid systems. The work included an
examination of surfaces of arbitrary shape and included elastic effects, both in the bulk solid and in
the surface. Conditions necessary for thermomechanical equilibrium were obtained using a
variational approach.
• Coupling of strain effects with phase transformation kinetics. The general problem here is to
calculate, at each instant of time, the strain field about a precipitate of arbitrary shape, growing from
a solid solution. This work is part of a study of the effects of elastic strains on interface morphology
during diffusion-controlled precipitation in solids.
