Dr. Thomas Juliano

Thomas Juliano is an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Juliano's primary research interest is high-speed aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics, including especially laminar-to-turbulent transition and shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions, for both external and internal flows. Other interests include hypersonic facility development, specifically quiet wind tunnels. He develops instrumentation for high-speed flow diagnostics, including quantitative infrared thermography, pressure-sensitive paint, and background-oriented schlieren. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Before joining the faculty at Notre Dame, he was a National Academy of Sciences Research Associate in the Hypersonic Sciences Branch at the Air Force Research Laboratory and a post-doc at Ohio State University. His M.S. and Ph.D. are from Purdue University and his B.S. is from Caltech.
