Short biography
I’m a senior at the University of Minnesota. I’m also a transfer student. I decided to come to the University of Minnesota for its great Aerospace Engineering program and for the many research and career opportunities available here.
Research and collaborators
This summer I worked with Professor John Baker from the University of Alabama. We studied the effect of pulsating low-speed free jets issuing from an annular orifice into a quiescent medium by means of flow visualization. This fall I will be working here at the University of Minnesota with professor Mahesh from the Aerospace Engineering department studying a pulsating jet in cross flow by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics
