Research Interests His research is concentrated on turbulence modeling and control. He is one of the principal faculty involved in the Center for Turbulence Research, and holds a part-time appointment as a Staff Scientist at the NASA/Ames Research Center. He has been developing a new type of structure-based turbulence model that shows promise as a broadly applicable tool for prediction of turbulent flows of engineering interest. This work is theoretical and computational, and students working in this area need to be strong in applied mathematics and basic fluid mechanics. His experimental work on control deals with laboratory experiments on the active control of turbulent boundary layers and active control of laminar-turbulent transition. This program includes work on actuators and sensors for active flow control constructed using semiconductor fabrication processes (MEMS). He also has a long-standing interest in engineering thermodynamics, and from time to time is involved in the development of software for engineering thermodynamic analysis. Some Recent Publications
