Biography
Dr. Johansen completed his PhD at Queen's University in 2009 on the study of explosions and pulse detonation engine technology. He later worked at the NASA Langley Research Center on high-speed aerodynamics and propulsion using laser diagnostics. In 2011, he joined the University of Calgary to create the Aero-Core Group, which includes three laboratories on CFD, non-intrusive diagnostics and propulsion. Dr. Johansen enjoys undertaking challenging aerospace projects that inspire young engineers. He is part of the University of Calgary Aerospace Network (UCAN).
Research
Areas of Research
Dr. Johansen's research focuses on areas that involve fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and gas dynamics. The work is motivated to solve problems in high-speed aerodynamics, propulsion, power generation, and explosion safety. His research lab includes several shock tubes with non-intrusive optical diagnostics and a computer cluster for computational fluid dynamics. Other research areas include intelligent and autonomous systems for aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and laser diagnostics.
