Background

About Caleb Traylor

Visiting Teaching Professor at UMass Lowell since Fall 2022. Teaching experience includes Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermal Fluids Laboratory, and Dynamic Systems Analysis. Teaching is my passion, so I truly enjoy my job. I love working with students and helping them grow both as engineers and as people. Diverse energy engineering experience including renewable energy and energy management. My PhD research focused on wind turbine blade structural health monitoring via acoustic methods and includes fluid dynamics and acoustics modeling. Other experience includes graduate level research into human thermal comfort and its impact on energy usage, an energy management internship focused on developing efficient methods of monitoring and sustaining energy efficiency, and traveling to implement small scale solar energy systems in developing countries. I am passionate about helping people improve their quality of life by providing access to energy and making the most of the energy available. One of my goals as a professor is to help students see how they can use engineering to make a difference in the lives of people around the world!
