Past Faculty Contributors

We remember and recognize those faculty who have contributed to our department through the years. The following is a partial list of such contributors based on our current knowledge.

Name	Contributions
Tryfon T. Charalampopoulos	(1985 – 2020) -- Professor of Mechanical Engineering, held the Ted and Esther Walker Professorship and the Al East Jr. Endowed Professorship in Mechanical Engineering. Areas of Contribution: Heat Transfer, Combustion, Thermodynamics, Optical Diagnostics, Renewable Energy. Dr. Charalampopoulos, known as “Dr. C” to his students and many of his colleagues, taught subjects such as heat transfer, thermodynamics, combustion, internal combustion engines, renewable and nuclear power plant design, and laser diagnostics (at both the undergraduate and graduate levels) throughout the span of his 35-year career at LSU. In research, he made seminal contributions in combustion, radiative heat transfer diagnostics, and soot formation and characterization, among several other subjects. He also served as associate dean for academics in the College of Engineering and as interim department chair of mechanical engineering.
