Troy Munro

College of Engineering

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Troy Munro received a concurrent BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering at Utah State University in 2012. In 2016, he will receive a dual Ph.D. from USU and the Katholieke Universeit (KU) Leuven, Belgium as part of an international collaboration to measure thermal properties of micro-/nano-scale fibers.

Mr. Munro’s graduate research was sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Utah NASA Space Grant Consortium, SDL, USATR, the USU Presidential Research Fellowship, and the ATF at KU Leuven. He received many awards including the Graduate School Enhancement Award, Outstanding Engineering Graduate Scholar, and award winning papers for the AIAA Region Student Conference and Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters.

Mr. Munro is currently seeking a tenure-track faculty position to pursue his research interest in energy transport in thermal sciences and heat transfer, developing methods for micro-/nano-scale probing of materials, thermal characterization and behavior of biomaterials and energy transport under extreme conditions, especially nuclear environments. He is the author of seven conference papers and eleven papers in peer reviewed journals, with 31 presentations.
