Welcome to our research lab!
Our lab is part of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK). Our lab focuses on computational sciences, addressing high-speed boundary-layer transition, hypersonics, atmospheric turbulence, multiphase flows, the development of numerical methods for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), and the discovery of new PDEs.
Our lab has worked and continues to work in collaboration with the ViSTA Laboratory and the Control Systems and Robotics Laboratories at TAMUK, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Purdue University, The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi (TAMUCC), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Brown University, California State University, Northridge (CSUN), University of California, Santa Cruz, and Clarkson University.
We are delighted to collaborate with people in robotics, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, physics, computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, and education.
