Professor Cizmas research activity and teaching interest is in propulsion and power, computational methods for fluid dynamics, combustion, multi-phase flows and aeroelasticity, and reduced-order models.
His current research activities include developing full-order model and reduced-order model computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods, exploring the role of the second law of thermodynamics on modeling reacting flows, reduction and control of sonic boom, and modeling of turbomachinery internal flows and prediction of rotordynamic effects.
