Eric Feron's world: A short introduction

B3 L5 R5209

Over the past 30 years, my research has focused on problems involving aerospace information systems, give or take a couple of exceptions - I also seem to like things with wheels-. In the talk, I will introduce and discuss a few research topics that, I believe, best describe the kind of research I like to perform. The topics will include things as diverse as drones, airports, and the hunt for Lyapunov functions. I will also introduce an educational initiative focusing on systematically restoring "the sense of touch" in all Engineering disciplines, and which I would like to experiment with as part of the courses I will be in charge of at KAUST.

Rocket Scientists @KAUST Which is your main ongoing RESEARCH in the aerospace and space flight sectors? I study high pressure flames and high speed combustion. Both are simplified versions of what’s happening in rocket engines and other propulsion systems. Prof. Deanna Lacoste I work in high pressure combustion, just what is needed in a rocket engine or other propulsion device. Prof. William Roberts Two keywords here: "turbulence" and "computational aerodynamics". In my group we conduct research in simulating turbulent flows over airfoils, wings and other aerodynamic shapes to better
