Brief History
Dr. Ferchichi obtained a B.A.Sc., a M.A.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ottawa, Canada. He joined the Royal Military College of Canada as an associate professor in December 2007. Prior to joining RMC, Dr. Ferchichi was an associate professor (2004-2007) and assistant professor (2000-2004) at Lakehead University, Canada. He also briefly served as a part-time professor and research associate at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Ferchichi's research interests are in the general area of fluid mechanics with focus on turbulent flows, turbulent mixing and vortex dynamics.
