Welcome to my web page. I am a Consulting Assistant Professor in the Dept of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University and my primary research interest is in the development and application of numerical methods to simulate fluid flows related to aerospace vechicles and renewable energy systems. Currently, I am spending a good deal of my time towards developing computational algorithms, models and uncertainty quantification approaches with application to a variety of areas including fixed and rotary wing aircraft, wind turbines and hypersonic cruise vehicles.

I am interested in fluid dynamic modelling at a fundamental level as well as in an integrated system-level setting.
An overarching theme in my research involves the use of computational methods to answer scientific and engineering questions at the feasible/desired level of sophistication.

At Stanford, I work very closely with the Aerospace Design Lab  and the Center for Turbulence Research. I also collaborate with faculty and students in the Aero/Astro, Mechanical and Computer Science departments on a variety of projects.
