Biography & Scholarship

My research focuses on experimental aerodynamics, thermal-fluid sciences, and advanced measurement methods. I have led projects in low-Reynolds-number aerodynamics, UAV and rotor systems, unsteady and gust-response flows, fluid-structure interaction, renewable-energy systems, and turbulent transport. My work combines first-principles modeling with wind- and water-tunnel experiments, optical diagnostics, pressure and force measurements, and data-driven analysis methods such as POD, DMD, and stochastic estimation. I have also led multidisciplinary research teams and federally funded projects supported by NASA, DoD, NSF, EPA, and DOE-related programs.
