As a researcher I develop novel numerical methods and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes that investigate multi-physics phenomena to solve problems that limit hypersonic vehicle design, such as thermal protection, communication blackout, and turbulence.

I lead the COmputational PlasMa HypErsonic AeroThermodynamics (COMET) research group in the department. Please visit my website ( https://vatsalyasharma.gitlab.io/comet/ ) to know more about my work, publications, fundings, vacancies, and future plans.
