CeFPaC Experience

I have learned a tremendous amount during my time at CeFPaC, gaining
valuable experience in collaborative project work, academic literature review
and writing, hands-on experimental setup, data processing, and
presentations. This line of work has also allowed me to improve my
knowledge of fluid dynamics and flight mechanics, which I hope to leverage in
future careers.
I have worked on two projects during my enrollment. The first was focused on
laminar flow control over swept wings, using piezoelectrically-driven oscillating
surface (PDOS) actuators to mitigate flow instabilities. My second and more
recent project has been on bio-inspired flow separation control, applying avian
wing features to a finite, forward-swept wing model to assess the effects on
aerodynamic performance and flow separation.
