"Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been."
- Theodore von Karman
Welcome to our research lab!
Our lab focuses on computational sciences, addressing hypersonics, boundary-layer transition, propulsion designs, turbulence, multiphase flows, the development of numerical methods, and libraries for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs).
The discovery of new Partial Differential Equations (PDEs).
Our lab has collaborated with and continues to collaborate with the ViSTA Laboratory and the Control Systems and Robotics Laboratories at TAMUK.
