Philip Worth Longest

Dr. P. Worth Longest received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 2002. His dissertation work focused on the roles of critical blood particles in the development of vascular diseases and the optimal design of vascular grafts. He then served as a post-doctoral research fellow for the U. S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, conducted at N. C. State University, where he analyzed aerosol transport and vaporization in the upper respiratory airways. Dr. Longest has also served as a post-doctoral research fellow for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Exposure Research Laboratory, in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. In this role, Dr. Longest developed respiratory dosimetry models to assess health risks posed by particulate matter and other air toxics. Dr. Longest joined the VCU faculty as an assistant professor in the mechanical engineering department in August 2004, where he is continuing his research in multiphase bio-fluid dynamics.
