Jasmine Hughley is a Mechanical Engineering PhD student with a concentration in Heat Transfer and minors in Developmental Engineering and Fluid Mechanics. As the child of two military parents, she was born and raised in Georgia but graduated high school in Columbia, South Carolina. She later earned her Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University. Motivated by a commitment to address climate change through community-centered solutions, Jasmine’s research focuses on advancing alternative energy technologies and sustainable practices that mitigate pollution.
Jasmine’s Current work in Dr. Van P. Carey’s Energy and Multiphase Laboratory focuses on utilizing statistical thermodynamics and computational modeling to evaluate thermal behavior in heat pump technologies, with the goal of improving their safety and performance.
Long term, Jasmine aims to integrate her mechanical engineering and developmental engineering training to advance sustainable technologies- merging thermodynamic and heat transfer theory with computational science and energy justice.
Outside of the lab, Jasmine enjoys mentoring aspiring engineers, scrapbooking, puzzles, and musical theatre.
