CeFPaC offers an environment for diverse low speed flow physics research. John notes the professionalism and perspectives of his peers as a critical component in his personal growth as a fluid mechanician and research scientist. The access to state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities allows for multiple students to engage in relevant and insightful experiments, even within periods of global pandemic. John’s research interests include mitigation of Tollmien-Schlichting waves and crossflow instabilities over swept laminar airfoils using active surface modulation as well as control of turbulent coherent structures. He has explored flow control solutions in open- and closed-loop control architectures and is also interested in reduced order modelling and atmospheric boundary layers.
