Professor, Department of Aerospace Engineering
Research Interest
My research focuses on the broad areas of thermofluid interactions, optical flow diagnostics, physics-integrated machine learning, and, recently, on geological flows. We perform basic and applied research. Our lab, the Advanced Combustion and Acoustics Laboratory (ACAL), is well equipped with optical test rigs and state-of-the-art equipment. A short video on our research activities is available on my lab website: https://sites.google.com/view/profsatheshmariappan/bio
