Research summary
AI-generated

Ali Doosttalab works in engineering with a focus on fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, including how air flows over surfaces and around objects. Recent work applies this to improving the flight performance of small unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) using bio-inspired microfiber coatings that mimic natural surface textures to reduce drag or delay flow separation (stall).
