Research
Our research focuses on developing and applying innovative measurement techniques, as well as established experimental methods, to study fundamental problems in the field of aerodynamics and solid mechanics. The bulk of this effort is conducted by students and with collaborators at UA and across the country. Graduate and undergraduate students interested in participating in these research areas, please email for current opportunities and assistantships. Of particular interest are
