Dr. Ravindran is a professor specializing in control and computational fluid dynamics - the use of computers to study movement of fluid and how they are affected by forces - at the University of Alabama in Huntsville with secondary appointment in Propulsion Research Center (https://www.uah.edu/prc). Prior to this appointment, he was an NRC postdoctoral research fellow in the Flow Modeling and Control Branch at NASA Langley Research Center, Virginia. Previous to that, he was a visiting assistant professor in the Center for Research in Scientific Computation at North Carolina State University. He thanks both of these great institutions for the opportunities and mentoring and professional development. As principal investigator of various research grants, he has conducted research for agencies such as the National Science Foundation, DOD, NASA Langley Research Center and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. He has also received NASA Summer Faculty Research Fellowship eight times and spent the summers in the Fluid Dynamics and Thermal Analysis Branch at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.He has been a visiting scholar at many institutions, including the IMA at UMinn, ICERM at Brown, INRIA, IPAM at UCLA, SAMSI and MSRI at UCBekeley.Ravindran's research lie at the interfaces of theoretical analysis, numerical analysis and scientific computing, and contributes to the theoretical foundation of numerical methods and simulation tools for the solution of Navier-Stokes equations modelling complex real world problems such as design of aircraft and other fluid devices.Ravindran enjoys an international reputation as a leading researcher due to his pioneering and fundamental contributions to numerical solutions of flow control problems marked a major advancement in the field. He has to his credit 80+ refereed publications in reputed professional journals and proceedings. He has given invited lectures in many countries and has conducted a number of minisymposia on computational modeling and fluid dynamics in many professional societies such as SIAM, IEEE, AIAA, and ASME. His scientific expertise has been recognized by over 2300 citations (Google Scholar) of his publications and, by invitations to consult by industry and government labs and to serve in the Editorial Boards of journals.His research mission is dedicated to the development of stable, accurate, robust and adaptive numerical algorithms, based on a rigorous theoretical foundation, for efficient numerical simulation of multi-scale and multi-physics fluid phenomena on modern computers.
