Matteo’s paper on the use of cavities to improve the performance of low-Reynolds number airfoils was published in AIAA Journal – Congratulations!

Congratulations to Yi Fan (former PhD in the lab, now at Google) who published a paper from her PhD thesis in Phys Rev E. on the effects of confinement on the correlations lengths in an active fluid.  One aspect of the paper was her ingenious use of diffraction rings to do 3D tracking!

A warm welcome to Eric Handy-Cardenas, who is a new PhD student at Brown, and is joining the lab.

Congratulations to Matteo on his new paper in the AIAA Journal on the transition to turbulence in a low-Reynolds number shallow cavity.

Congratulations to Yuanhang and Varghese (our esteemed alumnus, now a professor at UMass) on our paper published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics on nonlinear fluid damping!

Welcome to three new Post Docs who have joined the lab in the past few weeks.  Juhi Chowdhuri joins us from SUNY Buffalo; Sakthi Swarrup joins us from IIS Bangalore and Joel Newbolt joins us from Harvard and NYU.

Welcome to all!

Congratulations to our graduating seniors who are leaving College Hill to start the next phase of their journey.  Howon Lee will be attending GaTech , Albin Wells is heading to Carnegie Mellon, and Nick Simone is going to Dell/EMC

Congratulations to Matteo, who successfully defended his PhD!

Congratulations to Jillian on the publication of our new paper in Engineering Research Express on the capacitive sensing of strain in dielectric elastomers.

Congratulations to Asimanshu and Varghese – our paper, with Jeff Bailey in the Med School, on airflow patterns in cars, and the implications for aerosol transmission appeared in Science Advances today
