Aaron Knoll was born in Kodaikanal,
India and spent most of his childhood years in various regions of Asia;
including India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. During his undergraduate
degree, he worked
with integrated numerical simulations of spacecrafts and their
environments at the Canadian Space Agency.
Research Activities:
Aaron is currently conducting numerical
simulations of Hall Thrusters aimed at understanding the high frequency
plasma oscillations that occur in these devices and their relevance to
the efficiency and performance. He also has personal research interests
in Fluid/Aerodynamic simulations and new computational techniques for
solution of non-linear partial differential equations. For more
