Dr. Suresh Menon, Professor,
School of Aerospace Engineering,
Georgia Institute of Technology, received his B. Tech (1976) and
M. Tech (1978) from the
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and his
Ph.D. (1984) from the
University of Maryland.
From 1984 until 1992 he was a
senior scientist at Flow Research Inc. (now called
Quest Integrated, Inc.).
At Quest, Dr. Menon led research teams in various research projects such
as the active control of combustion instability in ramjet engines,
supersonic mixing studies, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft
fluid dynamics, and hypersonic reentry problems. In 1992, he joined the
School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology as an
Associate Professor. Professor Menon is a world renowned expert in
large-eddy simulation of turbulent reacting and non-reacting flows and has
developed unique simulation capabilities that are being used to study
pollutant formation, ozone depletion in high-altitude aircraft jet plumes
and combustion phenomena in gas turbine and ramjet engines. He is the
direct supervisor of the
Computational Combustion Laboratory
(CCL) which is part of the School of Aerospace Engineering's Combustion
Research Facility. He has been
(and is currently) a principal investigator for a wide range of research
projects funded by NASA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Office
of Naval Research and National Science Foundation.
He has published and presented over 90 papers
in various archival journals, conference proceedings and seminars.
Professor Menon is a Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics, and a member of the American Physical Society, the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the
Combustion Institute and the Sigma Xi.
He is currently a member of the AIAA Propellant and Combustion
Technical Committee and a peer reviewer for numerous archival journals,
NASA and NSF research proposals.
Research Interests: Turbulent Combustion, Parallel Simulations,
