Hello! You have reached JITESH VIDHANI's homepage. I am a graduate student at the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering of the Univeristy of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus. I am a Masters student working in the Environmental Division in the Thermal Environmental Engineering Lab under Dr Tom Kuehn.

I am originally from Mumbai, India, where I completed my schooling and college. Before coming to Minneapolis, I was at Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute, Bombay. Actually now it has been renamed to Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute. I received my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering out there.

Research

I am currently working with Dr Tom Kuehn on an ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) project wherein we shall be measuing the grease deposition in an Exhaust hood as a function of the velocity and the temperature of air in the duct.

Want to have a look at my Research Proposal

Some of the sites relevant to my research and Mechanical Engineering in general.

Thermal Environmental Engineering Lab

Particle Technology Lab

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory

Robotics Laboratory

Teaching

I am currently a quarter time TA for the Junior Lab ME3701 and ME3702 working under Dr Jane Davidson.

As a part of my TA duty I am conducting Labs hours and Lab lectures and grading papers for 2 Labs:

ME3701: Resistance Temperature Sensors

ME3702: Strain Gages

In addition to this I am also suppossed to maintain the course webpage.
