Lawrence Ukeiley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry is currently a Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department and the University of Florida. His primary interests are in experimental fluid dynamics and turbulence as related to flow control, aeroacoustics, fluid structure interactions and the development of low order models. He earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Alfred University and his MS and PhD from Clarkson University. Since graduating with his doctorate he has held positions at BEAM Technologies (Research Scientist), NASA Langley Research Center (NRC Post Doctoral Associate) and the Jamie Whitten National Center for Physical Acoustics at the University of Mississippi (Research Scientist and Research Assistant Professor) before joining the faculty at UF. Dr. Ukeiley is an active member in many professional societies such as AIAA, ASME and APS.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
