Vikrant Gupta

Research Assistant Professor Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering

I am a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering at the Southern University of Science & Technology, Shenzhen, China. I received my PhD from the University of Cambridge, and master and bachelor degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras. I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge, where I also held a knowledge transfer research fellowship to work with a startup (Ocean Array Systems) in marine energy.

Personal Profile

Research

In my research I apply tools from stability analysis, nonlinear dynamics, system identification and hydraulics on a variety of flows. The main application of my research focuses on optimisation of marine and wind energy, identification of flow structures, and prediction of thermoacoustic instabilities in gas-turbine engines.

Founded in December 2015, the Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) is one of departments in the College of Engineering. It aims to establish a world-leading department in mechanics and aerospace engineering, covering various research areas such as fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, aeroacoustics, mechanics, combustion, material, and system control. The Department will learn from the best practice of peer departments over the world in order to develop into an international research institution that attends to the national strategic needs in mechanics and aerospace, cultivates outstanding innovative talents, and conducts frontier fundamental research and applied research with social impact.

The goal of the Department is to become a top-tier international leader through introducing an innovative education system which emphasizes IUR (Industry-University-Research) in close association with the Chinese aerospace industry. The specific objectives are: 1) to nurture innovative talents (learning); 2) to research and develop key technologies (research); and 3) to provide technical services (production) for the national aerospace industry.
