Research Interests and History
Jon Longtin joined the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at Stony Brook
in Fall 1996. His research interests include using the unique qualities
of laser light for novel measurement of the thermophysical behavior
of liquid and solids. Examples include measuring the surface temperature
and concentration of a liquid and determining a liquid's thermophysical
properties, e.g., specific heat and thermal conductivity. Another of
his interest areas is fundamental and applied aspects of ultra high
intensity, short-pulse laser interactions with liquids and solids for
laser material processing, where behavior far different than that observed
at lower, more moderate laser intensities can occur. Longtin is the
author of over thirty publications, including invited chapters in Microscale
Energy Transport and Annual Review of Heat Transfer. He is currently
a member of the ASME K-15 committee, Heat Transfer in Manufacturing
and Materials Processing. Longtin is the recipient of the 1996 JSPS
Postdoctoral Fellowship, 1997 NSF CAREER and PECASE awards, and the
1998 Excellence in Teaching Award. His research is funded by the National
Science Foundation, NASA, and other sources.
