Dr. Bardet is a Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the George Washington University. His current research is focused on developing instrumentation and acquiring data for bettering understanding of physical processes and for validating and advancing high-fidelity CFD. His research group is currently developing non-intrusive laser diagnostics for measuring water vapor temperature, dissolved gas concentration, as well as velocimetry techniques, both seedless and particle based. Notably, Dr. Bardet’s group has advanced Molecular Tagging Velocimetry to measure wall shear stress directly in high-Reynolds number flows. Dr. Bardet and his group are focused on fluid-structure interactions, mass transfer and dynamics at liquid gas interfaces, and 3D turbulent boundary layers. He has led several in-situ experimental campaigns where his team instrumented large experimental facilities with custom diagnostics developed in his laboratory. Dr. Bardet teaches courses in Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Experimental Methods, and Optics.
