Overview
Background
Matt is completing his PhD in supercritical ethylene injection into supersonic crossflow where he investigated the mixing characteristics of this high pressure, high temperature fueling regime. His current research interests are in supersonic combustion studies, hypersonic boundary layer transition, and advancing the optical diagnostic tools used in hypersonic experimentation.
