Curriculum Vitae
M. RAZI NALIM, P.E., Ph.D.
Dr. Razi Nalim is Associate Professor at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology in
Indianapolis. He has 18 years of practical and analytical experience related to combustion engines
and related areas in industry, academia, and government. Since 1983, he has been involved in
internal combustion engine emissions control research, cogeneration systems development, and
engine testing. Dr. Nalim was a member of the wave rotor research team at the NASA Glenn
Research Center until 1997, where he investigated non-steady combustion and flow devices for
enhancement of gas turbine engines, and patented a new self-cooled wave rotor concept. Since then
he has received two additional patents for pulsed detonation propulsion concepts, and has established
a pioneering research program in non-steady flow and combustion processes at Purdue. In 2000, Dr.
Nalim led a consortium of university and industry researchers to form the Indiana Propulsion and
Power Center of Excellence, with a $2M grant from the State of Indiana 21st Century Fund for
Research & Technology. He has also initiated research in biological fluid non-steady flows. His
exceptional mentorship of young students is supported by his leadership of the Indiana Space Grant
Consortium as Associate Director. In 2002, Dr. Nalim was awarded the Abraham Max Distinguished
Professorship for research excellence at IUPUI – the highest honor of the Purdue School of
Engineering & Technology for research accomplishments. He has made invited presentations at
major companies and institutions worldwide on the development of novel wave devices utilizing
unsteady flow, and on engine emissions.
