ANN
MARIE FLYNN joined the faculty in the Fall of 1996. She is also
a graduate of Manhattan College, receiving her Bachelors degree in 1981 and her
Masters in 1991. Both degrees were in Chemical Engineering. She received Ph.D.
in Chemical Engineering from the
New Jersey Institute of Technology in January, 2000.
Her
dissertation, titled The Experimental Characterization of Heavy Metals in a
Partially Premixed, Laminar Hydrocarbon/ Air Flame will be used as a
launching point for her research work at Manhattan College. She plans to
involve both graduate and undergraduate students in the investigation of the
combustion of heavy metals, such as mercury and chromium.
This would involve experimental work performed in her recently
constructed lab at Manhattan College as well as computer modeling of the
flames entrained with metals.
Dr.
Flynn has taught a variety of courses at Manhattan College. She often comments
that she "gets them at the beginning and at the end" in that she
teaches mostly freshman and seniors. She teaches the engineering-wide
Introduction to Engineering course where students from all engineering
disciplines join together in groups to build a remotely controlled vehicle.
Other courses taught by Dr. Flynn include the senior-level courses Unit
Operations Lab and Process Control as well as the junior-level Heat Transfer
and Reaction Kinetics courses. In addition, she has taught Transport
Phenomenon and Accident & Emergency Management at the graduate level and
Air Pollution Control-a course offered to both chemical and environmental
engineering students.
Her
professional activities include the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
and the American Society of Engineering Educators. She is the moderator of the
Manhattan College chapter of Omega Chi Epsilon (the national chemical
engineering honor society) and has helped moderate the Society of Women
Engineers. She has been honored by the Manhattan College Engineering Council
as the teacher of the year in 1997 and 1999 and by the Education and Research
Methods division of ASEE with an Apprentice Faculty Grant.
When she is not focusing on Manhattan College, Dr. Flynn focuses on her family - her husband Kevin, her daughter Taylor and her son Kevin and the family's recent move from Rockland County to Long Island have kept them all very busy. The children are often seen wandering the halls on the Leo Engineering building - just as she had seen the children of her current colleagues wandering the halls when she was an undergraduate student. History has a wonderful way of repeating itself at Manhattan College.
