Research Summary
Welcome to my website, a hub for my research endeavors and teaching resources in Aerospace Engineering. I invite you to explore a growing collection of innovative course materials, insightful code, and engaging discussions on my cutting-edge research. Join me on this exciting journey as we push the boundaries of aerospace knowledge together! I am a Ph.D. candidate specializing in high-speed and hypersonic flows, with a particular focus on non-equilibrium gas dynamics, shock wave and boundary layer interactions, and advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for propulsion systems. My research connects fundamental physics, such as cavity acoustics and reactive chemistry, with practical design applications in scramjet inlets and aerodynamic surfaces.
Below are four core areas of my research.
Exploring Mach >5 flows, surface heating, and shock interactions.
Studying cavity acoustics and shear-layer dynamics at Mach 1–5.
Simulating droplet breakup, phase change, and interface dynamics.
Modeling energy cascades and vorticity in high-Reynolds flows.
