Professor Running works to motivate students inside and outside of the classroom to make a positive difference in the world. Prof. Running's technical scholarship is focused on hypersonic aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics with complementary interests in novel experimental surface-measurement techniques and facility design. These research endeavours seek to deliver answers to fundamental questions facing the hypersonic community and will lead to increased national security, space exploration and commercial flight.
