Teaching

AE 100: Introduction to Aerospace Engineering (Fall 2021, Fall 2020)

Description: Students learn about problem solving and the basics of aerospace engineering through hands-on projects building rockets and gliders.

AE 311: Incompressible Flow (Spring 2025, Spring 2023, Spring 2021, Spring 2019)

Description: Students learn about fluid mechanics, thin airfoil theory, finite wing theory, and basics of boundary layers. There are two projects focused on experimental design and computational prediction.

AE 412: Viscous Flow and Heat Transfer (Fall 2022, Fall 2024)

Description: Students learn about momentum and thermal transport in wall boundary-layer and free shear flows, solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for heat conducting laminar and turbulent shear flows; similarity; thermal boundary layers in ducts and high-speed aerodynamic boundary layers.

AE 460: Aerodynamics and Propulsion Lab (Fall 2023, Fall 2025)

Description: Students learn to measure, analyze, and interpret experimental data related to fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and propulsion. Students also learn teamwork, writing, and presentation skills.

AE 598: Modal Analysis of Fluid Flows (Spring 2020)

Description: Students learn to apply modal analysis techniques (including proper orthogonal decomposition, dynamic mode decomposition, and resolvent analysis) to fluid flows.
