Spencer L. Stahl

Spencer L. Stahl works on the aerodynamics of high-speed and unsteady flows, including supersonic jets, shock waves in diffuser/isolator systems, and turbulent shear layers. Much of the work involves developing data analysis and modeling techniques (such as modal decomposition and sparse reconstruction methods) to understand and predict complex, rapidly changing flow behavior, with applications relevant to jet engines and supersonic aircraft components. The research combines experimental measurements (like high-speed schlieren imaging) with computational and control-oriented approaches.

Publication output grew from near zero in 2017-2018 to a steady rate of roughly 4-5 papers per year from 2021 through 2025.
