Fardin Khalili nsIn human thermodynamics, Fardin Khalili (1988-) is an Iranian-born American mechanical engineer noted for being the 2013 Institute of Human Thermodynamics funded English translator of Iranian mechanical engineer, thermodynamicist, and 75th prime minister Mehdi Bazargan’s 1956 book Thermodynamics of Humans, the first actual book devoted to the subject of “human thermodynamics”, written, independently, only three years after English physicist C.G. Darwin, in his 1952 The Next Million Years, Introduction chapter, defined the science of “human thermodynamics” as the statistical mechanical study of systems of human molecules. [1]

Education
Khalili completed his BS in mechanical engineering in 2012 at Islamic Azad University of Mashhad, Iran, and currently is working on his MS in mechanical engineering at Northern Illinois University, where he is teaching assistant in engineering thermodynamics (MEE350) and heat and mass transfer (MEE352).

In spring 2014, Khalili completed his MS, with a thesis on “Three-Dimensional CFD Simulation and Aeroacoustics Analysis of Wind Turbines”.

Khalili will continue his education in the PhD program at the University of South Florida in Fall 2014.

Bazargan | Translation project
In 2013, Libb Thims met Khalili will lecturing on human thermodynamics at Northern Illinois University, and inquired if he would be willing to do the Farsi-to-English translation of Bazargan's book? Khalili agreed to the project and began some of the translation at that time.

In May 2014, Khalili re-entered into a continuation of the Bazargan translation, previously started; estimating to finish the translation by the end of summer. [2]
