Dr. Steven Collicott

Biography

Steven Collicott is a Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. He received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1983, a M.S. in Aeronautics & Astronautics from Stanford University in 1984, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1991. His research interests include experimental fluid mechanics and low-gravity fluid dynamics, with specific focus on capillary fluid physics, internal flows, and spray systems relevant to aerospace applications. He has been involved in pioneering studies related to spaceflight and the behavior of fluids in microgravity conditions, contributing significantly to the understanding of fluid management in space missions. In addition to his teaching, he has held various leadership roles in academic and professional societies, and has received multiple awards, including recognition from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Collicott is actively engaged in research that explores the physics of fluids under extreme conditions and the design of experimental setups for future aerospace applications.
