  Universität stuttgart, institute for aerospace thermodynamics

  Oct 2010 - Jul 2012

  Post-doc

  Developed a novel experimental facility in a small team, and set up optical measurement techniques in this setup and a shocktube setup.The aim of the project is to study droplet behaviour under near-critical conditions. This is relevant to various interesting applications, among which scram-jet engines and liquid fuel rocket propulsion.
