السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Monem Beitelmal is a senior research scientist at the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute. Dr. Monem previously served as an associate professor of mechanical engineering with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Santa Clara University (SCU) from January 2009 till December 2013. Before joining SCU, Dr. Beitelmal spent eight years at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto California. As a member of the HP Labs Smart Data Center research team, his research work covered various areas in energy and sustainability from smart thermal control in systems and data centers to district cooling systems. At SCU, Dr. Beitelmal taught several undergraduate and graduate courses such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, Modern instrumentation, thermal systems design, energy conversion, equilibrium thermodynamics and gas dynamics.

2014 – Now

Associate Professor

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California This is a full-time faculty non-tenure track position with responsibilities that include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Mechanical Engineering, developing new courses, designing and teaching laboratory experiments, advising and mentoring engineering students, participating in School of Engineering activities and developing research proposals for external funding. SAMPLE COMPLETED RESEARCH PROJECTS • Water Desalination Project The goal of this senior design project was to build a scalable water purification system that is fully powered by solar energy. This project is partially funded by the Center of Science, Technology and Society and the School of Engineering at SCU. • New Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Metrics Developed new energy efficiency metrics to facilitate proper evaluation of data centers power consumption. These metrics can be used to help reduce the cost of operation and to provision data centers power and cooling resources. • Waste-to-Energy Processes This project is conducted in collaboration with a start-up company (Enventix Inc). The goal of this research was to develop a novel reactor that uses bio-waste as a fuel for power generation.
