David Sumner DEC, BEng, MASc, PhD, PEng
Professor Mechanical Engineering

Originally from Montreal, I have been a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan since 1999. My main research interests are in bluff-body aerodynamics and experimental fluid mechanics. Most of my research is fundamental in nature rather than applied, and I supervise a small team of four to five graduate students. Using the traditional blackboard and coloured chalk, I teach courses in fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and thermodynamics. In the past, I have served as our department’s undergraduate program chair and graduate program chair, and have been the accreditation lead for our mechanical engineering program.

Research Area(s): Bluff-body aerodynamics; Experimental fluid mechanics; Fluid-structure interactions

Jeanie Wills PhD
DK Seaman Chair in Technical and Professional Communication & Associate Professor Ron and Jane Graham School of Professional Development

My position, as an interdisciplinary humanities scholar teaching in the Graham School of Professional Development in the College of Engineering, has provided me the opportunity to unite my scholarship and teaching to consider the needs of minority populations in our community, such as women and Aboriginal people. I seek to connect my research and my teaching in meaningful ways to primarily engineering students. The material I teach in these classes has been shaped by my research agenda.
