Min-Ha Kim

Minha was a Masters student from January 2010 till December 2011. His masters thesis topic was on assessing the performance of the latest Wilcox $k\omega$ turbulence model (2008) for flows typical of supersonic flight. After graduation, he joined BHI in Haman-gun where his work relates to the design of pulverized coal-fired boilers. Through a partnership with Foster Wheeler, BHI designs and manufactures boilers that are used in conjunction with a gas turbine to generate electricity.

Sathyan Padmanabhan

Sathyan was a Masters student from March 2013 till June 2015. His Masters thesis was related to the effect of the nitrogen vibrational energy in non-equilibrium on some supersonic flows of interest. He is now a Ph.D. student in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Arizona with full assistantship. His PhD thesis is related to experimental studies of shock boundary layer interactions under the supervision of prof. Jesse Little.

Van Tien Nguyen

Van Tien did a Bachelors degree at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Hanoi, Vietnam and a Masters in Aerospace Engineering at the Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia where he developed a CFD code to apply Immersed Boundary Method and Re-meshing technique in Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics. He started his Ph.D. in our laboratory in the spring of 2019 and his thesis topic is related to the effect of plasma sheaths on boundary layer transition within re-entry hypersonic flows.

Jaehyuk Lee

Jaehyuk is a senior-level undergraduate student in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Pusan National University. He is in charge of improving the CFDWARP code efficiency in doing matrix multiplication and inversion by linking to the LAPACK and BLAS libraries.

Minindu Weerakoon

Minindu is from Sri Lanka and is completing his undergraduate study in Aerospace Engineering at Pusan National University this year. He improved CFDWARP by implementing proper memory allocation cleanup.
