Dr. Tseng joined the Scientific Computing and Visualization Group in 1996. At SCV, he provides scientific computing consultation and training to the University’s research community. In addition, Dr. Tseng conducts training workshops in parallel computing iat Boston University periodically. He has developed web-based tutorials on MPI and (co-developed) OpenMP at Boston University. He is also a co-author of the same tutorials under the National Computational Science Alliance training program funded by NSF.

Before joining Boston University, Dr. Tseng was a Senior Scientist of the Computational Sciences Group at the Thinking Machines Corporation, Cambridge, MA.

Dr. Tseng has published over forty papers and reports, primarily in the fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft aerodynamics and aeroelasticity. He was elected a “Who’s Who in the East” in 1993.

Prior to working for Thinking Machines, Dr. Tseng was a Research Engineer, and later on Senior Research Engineer, at the United Technologies Research Center from 1985 to 1992. While working at UTRC, he developed an industry-first massively parallel subsonic boundary element code for complex aircraft configurations for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft’s Nacelle Group; he also developed a boundary element hover/forward flight helicopter code for Sikorsky Aircraft’s Aerodynamics Group; as well as a boundary element code for Single Rotation Propfan subsonic aerodynamics for Hamilton Standard’s Structures Group. Besides aerodynamics, Dr. Tseng also spent time working on software tool development and heat transfer analyses of next-generation heat exchanger for Carrier Corps.

In 1989, Dr. Tseng organized and co-chaired the First International Symposium of Boundary Element Methods. This three-day gathering of experts in the fields of Fluids and Solids was held at UTRC in Connecticut. The Proceedings of this Symposium, for which he was Co-Editor, was published in 1990.

Also in 1989, Dr. Tseng organized and chaired a “Workshop on Boundary Element Methods for Aerodynamics,” at the Sheraton Hotel, East Hartford, CT. Participants of the workshop included representatives from NASA, NLR of the Netherlands, Purdue University, Rocketdyne, University of Rome.

Prior to working at UTRC, Dr. Tseng had taught Structural Dynamics and Advanced Aerodynamics at Boston University from 1983 to 1985.

He was Principal Investigator/Co-Investigator of a series of NASA Langley Research Center funded research grants to Boston University on such topics as Transonic and Viscous Interactions, 1983 to 1985; Unsteady Supersonic Flows, 1984-1985; Steady and Unsteady, Subsonic and Supersonic Flows, 1978 to 1983.Unfunded research activities include: Analysis of high voltage transmission line bundled-conductor oscillations using a state-space approach; Finite-element elastic/plastic analysis of thin shells.

In 1982, Dr. Tseng was Invited Lecturer at the International School of Applied Aerodynamics, International Center for Transportation Studies, Amalfi, Italy.

He was a Lecturer at the “SOUSSA-p1.1 Training Course” at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA in 1981.

Between 1979 and 1982, Dr. Tseng consulted for various aircraft and engineering companies including Cessna Aircraft and Gates LearJet.
