Amy Fleischer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amy S. Fleischer is an American mechanical engineer whose research concerns thermal engineering, including sustainable energy, thermal energy storage using phase-change materials, and energy recovery from the heat management of electronic devices. She is dean of the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College of Engineering.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Fleischer's interest in mechanical engineering stems from a childhood desire to build spaceships.[2] She majored in mechanical engineering at Villanova University, and earned a master's degree there. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 2000. She returned to Villanova as a faculty member in 2000, and moved to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo as dean of engineering in 2018.[3]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2010, Fleischer won the Woman Engineer of the Year award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Electronic and Photonic Packaging Division. In 2011, she won the society's K-16 Clock Award, for "outstanding and continuing contributions to the science and engineering of heat transfer in electronics".[4] Villanova University gave Fleischer their Outstanding Faculty Mentor Teaching Award in 2011.[5] She was elected as an ASME Fellow in 2013.[6]
