Dr. Healy joined the Heat Transfer and Alternative Energy Systems Group in March 1999 and assumed the duties of Group Leader in 2007. His current research efforts aim to enable the adoption of wireless sensors in a range of building- related applications. In particular, he is examining standardized data models and Web Service interfaces that will enhance interoperability between a range of sensors and end applications. Additionally, he is working with the Department of Homeland Security to develop the infrastructure to allow for data from CBRNE sensors to be propagated to applications that require knowledge of hazard levels. Dr. Healy also oversees residential water heater testing as part of the DOE Appliance Program and has worked to find improved sensors for detecting moisture in building envelopes. As a result of the latter efforts, a patent was issued on the use of ultra-wideband radar to map the moisture state of a wall. In addition to these tasks, Dr. Healy is responsible for performing heat transfer analyses using the ANSYS commercial finite-element code. Recent work has focused on the design of a new Guarded Hot Plate for measuring the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation. Dr. Healy received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University, in May 1993 and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in September 1995. He completed his Ph.D. thesis at the Georgia Institute of Technology in March 1999. His thesis work involved numerically modeling the impact of a liquid droplet on a heated surface. He was the recipient of a 1994 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship as well as a Georgia Tech President's Fellowship. Dr. Healy is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). He currently serves as the chair of the Wireless Applications Subcommittee in ASHRAE TC 7.5: Smart Building Systems and as the Webmaster for ASHRAE TC 4.4: Building Materials and Building Envelope Performance. He also served as a voting member for ASHRAE Standard 118.2: Method of Test for Rating Residential Water Heaters. Please feel free to contact Bill Healy with any technical inquiries. |
