Samik Bhattacharya received his bachelor's degree from the National Institute of Technology in Warangal, India, in 2005. He received his master's degree in aerospace engineering from Auburn University in 2009, and his doctorate from 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.
