Biography

Professor Ramesh K. Agarwal is the William Palm and Bloomfield Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. Prior to joining as faculty at Washington University in 2001, he also contributed his work at Rao and Associates in Palo Alto, California from 1975 to 1976 as Principal Research Engineer. Within short span of time he had given his two years (1976-1978) at NASA Ames Research Center working as a NRC Research Associate Professor and also worked at McDonnell Douglas Research Laboratories in St. Louis from 1978-1994, at the same time he became the Program Director and McDonnell Douglas Fellow in 1990. Last but not the least, Professor Agarwal was the Chairman of the Aerospace Engineering (1994 to 1996) and the Executive Director of National Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State University from 1996 to 2001 and still working with a great experience. He is the author and co-author of over 400 publications. He has worked mostly in computational simulation of fluid flows. He developed a third-order upwind scheme in 1981 for the numerical integration of Navier-Stokes equations and did some of the early calculations of transonic wing-body interactions for aircraft. He has also worked in control systems and numerical simulation of carbon sequestration.
