GALCIT Research
Mechanics:
Fluids, solids, biosystems and space
Setting GALCIT apart from others are our unrivaled experimental
facilities in fluids, solids, materials, biomechanics, propulsion, and combustion; our exceptional faculty;
our rigorous graduate student training; and our emphasis on the
basics. We also maintain close connections to industry and government labs. An extremely
broad range of research is done by the professors in GALCIT,
their colleagues, and students.
The GALCIT faculty maintain strong connections with colleagues
throughout the Division,
the Institute, and the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Our faculty collaborate with
colleagues from Mechanical
Engineering, Applied
Physics, Applied and
Computational Mathematics, Control
and Dynamical Systems, Bioengineering, Geology
and Planetary Sciences, and JPL.
Research in Biological
Fluid Dynamics is carried out by GALCIT
faculty and colleagues throughout Caltech.
