Hello internet traveler, welcome to my humble web-presence. I'm a research associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California. I came here in 1994 on a National Research Council Post-Doctoral Fellowship which was extended for three years, after which I joined the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics research faculty.

I have many interests, which are discussed in some detail in these pages. These include many aspects of aerospace engineering. I'm involved in both numerical simulations and experimental investigations of primarily unsteady flows. Present research projects include everything from full-configuration, three-dimensional simulations of transonic fighter aircraft, to the design and testing of flapping-wing propelled micro unmanned air vehicles (referred to as micro-UAVs or MAVs). You can find information, photos and videos of our radio-controlled MAVs in my experimental research section. You'll find summaries of my research efforts in my Research section, including a number of JavaScript animations of unsteady simulations.

Additionally, I'm involved in several software design and web-based application development projects. You'll find a few of the web-based applications in my Online Tools section, including an online panel code for predicting lift, moment and pressure distributions about NACA 4 and 5 digit airfoils, and a Transonic Small Disturbance (TSD) solver for predicting the transonic flow over this airfoils or through slightly convergent/divergent nozzles.

Please enjoy your visit to my site, and feel free to pass any questions, comments and/or complaints on to me (I actually make an attempt to respond).
