Faculty Spotlight on Research & Impact webinar series-Miki Amitay | Nov. 12

Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM - Vehicles That Feel What if we could change the shape of a vehicle—without moving parts—just by controlling how air flows around it? Prof. Amitay will introduce active flow control, a new technology that uses tiny devices to manage airflow and improve how vehicles perform. This approach can reduce drag, save fuel, and even replace traditional control surfaces like flaps or rudder. It is a simple idea with powerful potential for the future of air, ground, and underwater transportation.
