RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Dr. Liburdy is primarily involved with experimental studies of fundamental issues of turbulent flows, enhancement of transport properties by complex flow structures, and high-speed droplet formation and aerodynamics. Applications of this work include (i) high heat flux micro-electronic cooling, (iii) high temperature gas turbine blade cooling systems, (iv) micro-scale fluid flow systems for biological and chemical reactors and ink-jet printing, (iv) multi-phase ejector systems, and environmental control.

Dr. Liburdy's research has received support from Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Westinghouse, General Electric, AT&T, duPont, Maxfli, and others from industry and from DARPA, DoE, NSF, NASA, and AFOSR.
