Victor de Carvalho Britto Sousa

My research interests include numerical modeling of compressible flow phenomena such as shocks, turbulence and their interactions, as well as hypersonic flows, focused on boundary layer transition. Currently, I am Ph.D candidate in mechanical engineering at Purdue University - West Lafayette. Previously, I received a B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from the Federal University of Minas Gerais - Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
