Presentation at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (Oral + ePoster)
I presented my research on vortex–surface interactions at the American Physical Society – Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS DFD) meeting, the largest international conference dedicated to fluid mechanics research. The conference brought together leading researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. Presenting my work provided an opportunity to receive technical feedback, discuss modeling and experimental challenges, and engage with emerging developments in vortex dynamics and free-surface flows.
Oral Presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium
I delivered an oral presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium hosted at the University of Colorado Boulder. My presentation focused on vortex–surface interactions, highlighting experimental methodology, free surface synthetic schlieren results, and key time-averaged observations on surface deformation induced by counter-rotating vortices. The symposium brought together researchers, graduate students, and faculty working in fluid mechanics, turbulence, and multiphase flow. The focused and interactive setting allowed for in-depth technical discussions and detailed feedback on experimental design and analysis.
Visiting Research Collaborators at Montana State University
I traveled to Montana State University to meet with our research collaborators working on the near-field dynamics of vortex–surface interactions. During the visit, I observed their experimental facilities, learned about their advanced flow visualization techniques, and examined their Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) setup to support the development of a similar system at UNH. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborative research efforts, and gain practical insights into experimental methodologies used in vortex-dominated flows.
