Sutanu Sarkar received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Aerospace Engineering from Cornell University in 1988. Since then, he has spent a significant portion of his career contributing to the fields of computational fluid dynamics and multi-scale flow problems. In 1992, he became a staff scientist at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) at NASA Langley Research Center. He has been a faculty member at the Jacobs School of Engineering since 1993. His research involves applying modern computational science techniques to predict turbulence, pollutant transport, and wake dynamics related to submersibles and turbines. His interests also include high-speed aeronautics, propulsion, combustion, and aero-acoustics. Throughout his career, he has developed turbulence models widely used in commercial thermofluids applications. His accolades include the NASA Group Achievement Award in 1994, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Prize from the Humboldt Foundation in 2001, being elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006, an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2010, and a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2010.
