Research

Justin is a member of the Waves research group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). His current research interests include the aeroacoustics of owls, the aerodynamic performance of flapping membrane wings in low Reynolds number flow, the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of high-aspect-ratio wings, and microscale power generation.
