Hello, I am an assistant professor at UW-Madison. My group works on turbulence and aeroacoustics.

The overarching research objective of my group is to understand how does the structure of turbulent shear flows dictates drag, noise and its propagation ?

 I use variety of experimental, numerical and analytical tools to study generation, propagation, and scattering of sound waves. 

Aeroacoustics

 Aero+Acoustics is a branch of science that deals with noise generation via unsteady aerodynamics.

How is noise generated ?

In a vortex both centrifulgal forces (due to rotation) and pressure forces balance each other. However, any distortion or stretching of  vortex will break this "balance" and induce corresponding pressure disturbances that can propagate as far-field noise.
