Hassan Saad Ifti
Dr Ifti joined the High-Speed Aerodynamics and Propulsion Lab at the University of Maryland, USA, in April 2022. Originally from Mymensingh, Bangladesh, he earned his DPhil in Engineering Science (Hypersonics) from the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. For the scientific contributions in his doctoral thesis entitle, “Transpiration Cooling of a Hypersonic Vehicle,” he won the 2022 UK Doctoral Researcher Award (2nd Prize, Engineering), in a UK-wide academic competition that is awarded annually to junior researchers with promise to be amongst the world class academics of the future. Dr Ifti holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Session
In this lightning talk, I will show videos of analysed experimental data obtained in a wind tunnel at a flow speed of Mach 7, i.e. seven times the speed of sound, using Python. I will discuss how Python helps us discover the science behind creating reusable rockets that could one day allow us to fly from London to Tokyo in two hours.
