Do not pursue what is illusionary property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade, and is confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life don’t be …

“But we can sympathize readily with a theorist who is frustrated by the uncertainly surrounding the experimental results. Definitive progress in the subject is linked inextricably to obtaining measurements of vastly improved quality. It would be presumptuous to relegate theory to the role of merely explaining empirical facts. On the contrary, we emphasize that theory …

Aeroacoustics Experiment
University of Florida
My new life begins at the University of Florida. I am very fortunate and happy to be here.
New Site Update
I have updated my site to be compatible with my new professorship. I will update it soon. I have not retained my previous three years of posts. Thank you. Edit: I should say that I lost the database and could not recover it.
A Schlieren of an Off-Design Supersonic Jet
2015 NASA Early Career Achievement Medal
I was recently awarded the 2015 NASA Early Career Achievement Medal. The official NASA photo was recently released. The medal is for my work in theoretical aeroacoustics and its application to jet noise prediction.
Combustion
I have begun a new journey in the field of combustion. Currently I am reviewing flammability limits, heat release, flame extinction, acoustics, etc. There is some limited literature on acoustic waves from combustion. I am hopeful that I might eventually place these papers on a more grounded theoretical basis. Current models in use are mainly …
Impressionist Artist Garden in Norfolk Exhibit
This weekend I was able to visit the Artist’s Garden Exhibit at The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk Virginia. The exhibit is open until early September. Approximately seventy works are on display. This space shows American artists that used gardens essentially as laboratories for their studies in color theory in the impressionist style. Those …
