Teresa Salomone
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioTeresa Salomone is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford’s Center for Turbulence Research. She earned her PhD through a joint collaboration between Queen’s University in Canada and the University of Campania in Italy. Her research focuses on computational studies of turbulent flows using large eddy simulation and wall modeled large eddy simulation with high performance computing, with an emphasis on roughness, separated flows, and complex external aerodynamics.
More recently, her work has expanded to include simulations of marine species in collaboration with Hopkins Marine Station, where she studies the hydrodynamics of cetaceans to estimate drag, gliding energetics, and cost of locomotion across different species and swimming conditions. She is also exploring how computational fluid dynamics can be applied to questions in human physiology, particularly in modeling cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.
She is also involved in facilitating workshops on breathwork, reflecting a broader interest in the role of respiration and its interaction with physiological systems. -
Shilpa Vijay
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioShilpa received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, and was advised by Dr. Mitul Luhar. For her dissertation, she worked on developing structured porous surfaces for passive flow control, with applications to drag reduction and heat transfer. Her research interests lie in turbulent boundary layer flow, thermal/particle mixing and transport, and applications of experimental techniques to a variety of problems.
