John Bush

Greetings! I'm a graduate student at CSM pursuing a MS in Mechanical Engineering. Here you can find information about some of the work that I am involved with at the Colorado School of Mines.

About Me


Education


  • M.S. Mechanical Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO. In Progress.
  • B.S. Environmental Sciences, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT. 2001

Research Interests


I am interested in a broad range of engineering applications, but as a graduate student have primarily focused on fluid mechanics and thermal sciences. In particular, I am interested in how these principles can be applied in the design of renewable energy systems. I am currently working on computer simulation of mixing in algae growth systems using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. My advisor is Dr. David Munoz.

GK-12 Fellowship Program


Beginning in the Fall Semester of 2010, I have been a teaching fellow with the GK-12 Learning Partnership at CSM. This is a program which brings graduate students such as myself into local public schools to assist elementary and middle school students in the subjects of math and science. For more information about my role in the program, please see my GK-12 page.

EGGN 351 - Fluid Mechanics


I was the teaching assistant for the undergraduate fluid mechanics course at CSM for the Spring 2009, Fall 2009, and Spring 2010 semesters. During the spring courses I worked with Dr. Neal Sullivan, and during the fall course I worked with Dr. Chris Dreyer. My primary resposibilities were facilitating a recitation session where students were guided through problems related to current lecture material, writing homework assignments, and assisting in the grading of exams.
