Another year, another DFD. Denver here we come! Don't miss:

- Microfluidic systems for investigating host-microbe relationship (talk by my fellow post-doc Arunima Battacharjee)
- Free Falling in Stratified Fluids (talk by Ph.D. student Try Lam); check out his video on stratified flows!
- Shape matters: Improved flight in tapered auto-rotating wings (talk by my student Yucen Liu)
- Diving wedges (my talk, in the special session "Diving birds and flying fish" organized by Alexandra Techet (MIT) and Eva Kanso (USC))

Jun 2017

Our research on diving wedges was featured on the excellent fluid dynamics blog F**k Yeah Fluid Dynamics (FYFD) ! See article here.
