About
Rebecca teaches courses physics (Newtonian mechanics), fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. Rebecca also supervises thesis students and does research activities related to heat pumps (with special interest in ground-source) and porous flows (with special interest in green roofs or porous asphalt). She primarily utilizes mathematical modeling and simulation, supported by targeted experimental work.
