William S. Janna received his BSME, MSME, and PhD from the University of Toledo. He joined the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of The University of New Orleans in 1976, where he became department chair, and served in that position for four years. Subsequently, he joined the University of Memphis in 1987 as chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He served as associate dean for graduate studies and research in the Herff College of Engineering. His research interests include boundary layer methods of solution for various engineering problems, modeling the melting of ice objects of various shapes, and the study of sublimation from various geometries. He is the author of three textbooks and a member of ASME. He teaches courses in heat transfer, fluid AQ1 mechanics, and design of fluid=thermal systems. He has designed and constructed a number of experiments in the fluid mechanics and heat transfer laboratories.
