Professor Hemati's research aims to develop efficient and reliable strategies for the modeling, analysis, and control of fluid flows that arise in various engineering applications. Hemati's research program combines theory, computation, and experiments to advance the state-of-the-art in flow control technologies. Current projects include (1) turbulent transition delay for drag reduction in shear flows, (2) multi-fidelity sensor fusion for advanced turbulent flow diagnostics, (3) aerodynamic separation control for enhanced flight performance and maneuverability, and (4) modeling and control of hypersonic flight systems.
