Fluid Conversations

We are back after a long hiatus, which began when my wife stole my recording space and equipment! We are back to say goodbye to Fluid Conversations and welcome Fluid and Heated Conversations. My PhD student, Shuvo, joins me to discuss his inspiring life story and his contributions to our current NSF-sponsored project.

In this episode of Fluid Conversations, I make up a story about why I have not released any episodes since April... and I give an update on the research activities from the NSF project that is sponsoring this podcast. Season one is concluded and I promise to come back in the fall.

In this episode of fluid conversations, Melissa shares with us her story as a talented athlete, student, and now a researcher. Someday, her research could help save lives by investigating biofluid flow.

Matthew Zhar joins is to talk about numerical model development for super fast flows and his inspirational upbringing story.

In this Episode of Fluid Conversations, Blair tells us a story on how her passion for bridges and structures transformed into a career in fluid dynamics research... Volcanoes are involved too!

Margaret tells us the story of a curious and smart girl who couldn't have enough math in high school and later on found her passion for fluid dynamics research (slow moving squishy animals).

In this episode of Fluid Conversations, Chris Combs tells us how he went from building Lego's and being a fan of Star Trek to directing a hypersonic flow research laboratory.

In the first episode of Fluid Conversations, your hosts Dr. Bladimir Ramos Alvarado and Dr. Xiang Yang, both Penn State professors, talk about their recently funded research project on the characterization of "slip".
