RESEARCH


Dr. Subramaniam's research interests center on analytical, numerical, and experimental investigations of non-equilibrium phenomena. These phenomena occur in reacting fluids or plasmas (ionized gases) or when laser beams interact with materials. Applications of his work include materials synthesis and processing, manufacturing of thin films and devices, and propulsion systems.
