I direct the Simulations of Flow Physics and Acoustic (SOFIA) Laboratory . Our group's research falls into the categories of fluid dynamics and acoustics. We are particularly interested in:

The fluid mechanics of biological and bio-inspired locomotion. Physics and control of flow interactions with moving, deforming boundaries. Numerical simulation of transitional and turbulent hypersonic boundary layer flows The interaction of sound and fluid flow. Development of novel computational methods for investigating unsteady flow physics. Control of acoustically-driven instabilities.
