Dr. Bradley Adams

Brad Adams joined BYU in 2015 after 30 years in industry, including positions at GenRad, MIT Lincoln Laboratories, and Reaction Engineering International. He has performed R&D in the areas of heat transfer, combustion, and air pollution control, with an emphasis on CFD simulation of these processes. Current research interests include advanced power systems for CO2 control, radiative heat transfer, and air quality (air sanitization, dust emissions, urban canopies).
