Dr. Eric Lipsky's Virtual Office Space
Dr. Eric Lipsky is an Associate Professor in Engineering with appointments both in Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering and serves as the program coordinator for Energy Engineering at the Greater Allegheny campus. Dr. Lipsky specializes in experimental research and has spent the last 20+ years participating in field studies measuring emissions from a variety of combustion sources and ambient air-quality measurements. These students worked to understand the impact of combustion sources on overall air-quality and human health. Dr. Lipsky's recent interests have shifted to working with engineering students to build small scale sustainable energy systems that can be scaled for larger energy systems.
