Kenneth McEnaney

Kenneth McEnaney has a diverse background in engineering and research. Kenneth began their career as a Senior Engineer at Boston Flight Sciences, where they worked on the analysis and design of mechanical systems for communications systems. Kenneth also gained experience in composite material testing and writing manufacturing process specifications. After their time at Boston Flight Sciences, Kenneth joined GMZ Energy as a Consultant, where they calculated energy production and suggested design changes for solar thermoelectric generators. Additionally, they developed a MATLAB model for optimizing system design. Kenneth then worked as a Graduate Student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, conducting research on thermoelectric energy conversion systems and heat transfer. Kenneth also tested the radiative properties of selective surfaces and modeled heat transfer within aerogels. Currently, Kenneth is employed at Creare, where they are an Engineer. In this role, they conduct research and develops new technologies for government and industrial clients. Kenneth specializes in areas such as heat transfer, HPC software development, thermoelectric device applications, and mobile app development.

Kenneth McEnaney began their education journey in 1998 at Cornell University, where they pursued a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering. Kenneth successfully completed their undergraduate studies in 2002.

Motivated to further expand their knowledge and skills in the field, McEnaney then joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2008. Over the course of two years, from 2008 to 2010, they pursued a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering, enhancing their expertise in this domain.

McEnaney's passion for mechanical engineering continued to grow, leading him to enroll in a doctoral program at MIT in 2010. Kenneth diligently worked towards their Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Mechanical Engineering for four years, with their educational journey culminating in 2014.

Throughout their education, McEnaney specialized in Mechanical Engineering and demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence at both Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
