Tommy Erickson (doctoral)
Hi, I’m Tommy Erickson, a PhD student in Dr. Yuan’s lab. My research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with interests in flow over rough surfaces and fan noise generation. Outside of research, I am passionate about making STEM more accessible to underrepresented communities. In my free time, I enjoy knitting and spending time in nature.

Mace is a MS student completing his thesis regarding roughness sublayer characterization for separating turbulent boundary layer flow. He obtained his BS Mechanical Engineering from Wayne State University. Originally from Michigan, he is currently working in the aerospace industry in Huntsville, AL as a research engineer performing aerothermal analyses of hypersonic vehicles and their thermal protection systems. Away from academia and his career, he enjoys concerts, fermenting foods and sauces, and spending time with his two dogs.
