Resume: N/A

Samik Bhattacharya received his B.Tech. from the National Institute of Technology in Warangal, India, in 2005. He received his M.S. in aerospace engineering from Auburn University in 2009, and his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 2013. His doctoral research focused on the three-dimensional wake control of circular cylinders with the help of segmented plasma actuators. His postdoctoral work at Queen’s University focused on unsteady fluid dynamics. He is currently working as an assistant professor at UCF. He is also a part of the Center for Advanced Turbine and Energy Research at UCF.

Research Interests: Experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, Flow control, Unsteady fluid mechanics, Fluid-structure interactions.
