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 numerical error estimation and uncertainty quantification in computational fluid dynamic formulations 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.

My primary research affiliation at Stanford is with the Aerospace Design Lab  and I work very closely with the folks at the Center for Turbulence Research as I am also interested in several aspects of turbulence modeling and simulation.
