Hello

I am an Engineer by education and have an interest in science and the history of technology. I have experience in industrial gas turbines, micro-scale heat transfer, fuel cell systems, and aerospace thermal sciences. I presently work as a Sr. Thermal Engineer with the NASA Johnson Space Center through the Constellation Space Suit System (CSSS) contract group.

My publications and conference papers:

"High-Speed Visualization of Two-Phase Flow in a Micro-Scale Pin-Fin Heat Exchanger"; Cognata, T; Hollingsworth, D. K; Witte, L; Heat Transfer Engineering; 28(10):861-869; 2007

"Results of the Particulate Contamination Control Trade Study for Space Suit Life Support Development"; Cognata, Thomas J.; Conger, Bruce; Paul, Heather L.; 39th Int'l Conf. Environmental Systems, July 12-16, 2009

Have a pleasant time!
