Faculty

Nikolaos A. Gatsonis, Professor and Department Head; Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Development of continuum, atomistic and hybrid computational methods for fluids, gases and plasmas in regimes that range from nanoscale to macroscale and low- speed to hypersonic. He applies these methods to areas of spacecraft micropropulsion, plasma devices and diagnostics, spacecraft-environment interactions, space experiments, dusty plasmas, complex flows under microgravity, and estimation with unmanned vehicles.
