Achyut Panchal

Dr. Panchal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati. He received his B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2014. He then joined the Georgia Institute of Technology to pursue graduate studies, earning an MS in computational science and engineering in 2020 and a PhD in Aerospace Engineering in 2022. He worked as a research engineer at Georgia Tech before joining the University of Cincinnati in 2026. His research focuses on multiphase and multiscale modeling of turbulent reactive flows, and he is interested in developing novel computational approaches for high-fidelity and reduced-order modeling.

Research/Teaching interests: computational fluid dynamics; aerospace propulsion; multiphase combustion; high-speed compressible flows; turbulence modeling; large eddy simulations; high-performance computing
