Most of the work performed by California Thermal Solutions is performed by Maurice J. Marongiu, Ph.D., P.E. and Max J Marongiu, M.S. Dr. M.J. Marongiu received his B.S. degree in mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1980. He received in 1982 his M.S. in mechanical engineering and in 1985, he earned his doctorate in mechanical engineering, both degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The emphasis in his studies was experimental/analytical methods applied to thermal and fluid mechanics problems. Dr. Marongiu has a Professional Engineering (P.E.) license from the state of Illinois.

Dr. Marongiu has over 10 years of engineering teaching experience in the thermal engineering areas. He was assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University at College Station, TX and Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, as well as graduate teaching assistant at the University of Illinois. He has taught heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, thermal systems, thermal management, experimental methods and other courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as conducted research projects in thermal management, heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
