Dr. Soheil Fatehiboroujeni

Assistant Teaching Professor

Mechanical Engineering

Soheil Fatehiboroujeni received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Merced in 2018 focused on the nonlinear dynamics of slender filaments. As an engineering educator and postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University, Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Dr. Soheil worked in the Active Learning Initiative (ALI) to promote student-centered learning and the use of computational tools such as ANSYS and MATLAB in engineering classrooms.

In Spring 2022, Dr. Soheil joined Colorado State University as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research is currently focused on computational mechanics, project-based learning and the long-term retention of knowledge and skills, design theory and philosophy.
