Current research
Swathi's group focusses on the physics of unsteady, vortex-dominated flows and their impact on sustainable and efficient engineering designs.
Current projects fall under the umbrella of experimental unsteady fluid-structure interactions with applications to aeronautical and marine technologies. Projects include the aerodynamics of vertical axis turbines, propeller-wing interactions on novel VTOL aircraft configurations, flapping wings on water surfaces, and aero/hydrodynamics of morphing wings.
The PhD, MSc, and undergraduate students working with Swathi use the state-of-the-art facilities available at 黑料社 such as the recirculating water channel, wind tunnels, static tanks, and several stand-alone experimental rigs to carry out cutting-edge research in the above-mentioned fields. Her group is particularly geared towards building complex robotic systems, often drawing inspiration from nature. They combine moving objects, fluids, experimental techniques, and advanced flow diagnostics to understand the physics, which then feeds into engineering design and optimisation problems.

Biography
Dr. Swathi Krishna is a lecturer (assistant professor) in the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics (AFM) group since August 2021.
Swathi obtained her bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University, India in 2009, her MSc. in aerospace engineering from TU Delft, Netherlands in 2012, and PhD in mechanics from Ecole polytechnique f茅d茅rale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in 2017. After a brief stint in industry, she worked as a postdoc in University of Rostock, Germany before joining as a lecturer in Southampton.
Swathi鈥檚 interests broadly lie in experimental fluid mechanics and aeroacoustics. She uses optical diagnostic techniques to investigate flow phenomena in a wide range of applications. Her research derives inspiration from nature to understand and enhance performance metrics in engineering models.
