CeFPaC Experience

I joined CeFPaC as a Ph.D. student in August 2012.  Since then and until graduation, I worked on the trasonic diffuser project funded by Northrop Grumman, investigating novel techniques to control massive separated flow.  In order to successfully solve the chanllenges I was facing during the investigation of my project, I was required to develop innovative solutions involving a deep understanding of flow physics.  The mentorship, expertise, and warm personality of Professor Amitay, combined with an extremely high level of technical staff supporting the lab, and the friendship with my lab mates, provided a positive growing environment, encouraging me to develop as a person and as a researcher.
