Virgil Adumitroaie
Back to Team Leaders List
Virgil Adumitroaie received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1997, where he performed research in simulation and modeling of high-speed turbulent reacting flows.
He served for six years as a Senior Engineer at the CFD Research Corporation, Huntsville, AL prior to joining the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Senior Member of Technical Staff in 2004.
He has published papers and technical reports on advanced modeling of compressible flows, direct numerical simulations and large eddy simulations (LES) of chemically reacting flows, and magnetohydrodynamics. During his career he has been involved in turbulent combustion modeling, data dimension reduction, neural networks, signaling pathways and scientific software development.
Currently, his work in optimization methods and uncertainty analysis applied to decision problems supports tasks from the JPL's Strategic Technologies Program Office.
