Comments

In Fall 2000 received a Ph.D. degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Research involved using direct numerical simulations (DNS) to study turbulent reacting shear layer flows, which are prototypes of many internal combustion engine flow situations. In DNS calculations, no turbulence models are used and all relevant scales are resolved on the computational grid. This permits the study of basic physical processes that occur in turbulence-flame interactions. The detailed understanding of such interactions is crucial for use in engine simulations as well as other engineering applications.

Currently in a post-doctoral position at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA.

BSME in 1993

MSME in 1995
