Applied Math Lab

The Applied Math Lab is at the center of our group’s research activities. A central theme of our laboratory activity is the visualization of high-speed flows, for which we have state-of-the-art still and high-speed video cameras.  The lab may be found in 2-031, in the basement of the newly renovated Building 2.

“The world is our laboratory, the laboratory is our sandbox.”
