Aerodyamancs of low-Reynolds number wings with signigicant laminar to turbulent transition

Model error discovery

Postdoctoral Research Associate • 2020 — present

A regression-type algorithm is used to discover the missing terms of a surrogate model from the observations of the corresponding high-dimensional system

Model Order Reduction of convection-dominated flows

Research Assistant (PhD thesis) • 2015 — 2020

A novel framework to reduce the convection dominated flows is developed. An image-registration-like approach is developed to learn an optimal manifold and the governing partial differential equations are projected and solved on this realized manifold

Stabilization of time-varying reduced order models

Research Assistant (PhD thesis) • 2019 — 2020

A new approach to stabilize time-varying ROMs is developed based on an optimal modification of the point-wise system matrices
