Sandia National Laboratories

Habib N. Najm is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. He received the MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT in 1986 and 1989, and the BE degree in Mechanical Engineering from the American University of Beirut in 1983. Before joining Sandia in 1993, Najm worked with the Semiconductor Process Design Center at Texas Instruments, on the development of sensors and control in semiconductor processing, and on design studies of thermofluid systems in semiconductor process technology. Najm's group at the Sandia Combustion Research Facility is involved in a range of computational reacting flow research funded by the US Dept. of Energy, Basic Energy Sciences/Chemical Sciences Division and the DOE SciDAC Computational Chemistry program. This work spans the development of algorithms for time integration and uncertainty quantification, distributed high-performance component software implementations, and computational studies of reacting flow with detailed hydrocarbon kinetics. The group also works on DARPA-funded research focused on detailed modeling and uncertainty quantification in electrochemical microfluid systems. Najm is co-author of over thirty archival journal articles and four US patents.
