Dr.  Mingtai Chen is an assistant teaching professor with graduate faculty status granted in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University. With a passion for understanding airflow behaviors, his research focuses on experimental aerodynamics, rotor-wing interaction, aero-acoustics, wing-in-ground vehicle, toroidal propeller and morphing wing. 

Dr. Mingtai Chen earned his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering (AE) from the University of Alabama and has since dedicated his career to experimental aerodyamics and rotor-wing interaction. His approach combines experiments, data analysis, and CFD simulations to provide insights into the impacts of experimental investigations on aerodynamics and aero-acoustics and the potential for mitigating these effects.

In addition to his research contributions, Dr. Mingtai Chen is an engaging educator committed to fostering the next generation of aerospace engineers. He teaches a range of AE laboratory courses and Fluid Mechanics and make changes to those courses. His teaching philosophy emphasizes hands-on experience, and the practical application of scientific principles to the real-world.
