the stability and transition of laminar hypersonic boundary layers; the characterization and control of microclimates for management of grass disease; the application of active flow control techniques on remotely piloted vehicles; and the dynamics and control of aero-acoustic induced interactions.

He is also currently conducting computational studies in the areas of:

the stability of laminar hypersonic boundary layers; the closed-loop control of unsteady, separated, compressible flows; and the aerodynamics of ground vehicles.

Dr. Chokani has presented several seminars and papers on his work. He advises graduate research students in his current areas of research interest; he has supervised six doctoral dissertations and ten masters' theses. He also teaches both undergraduate and graduate level classes.
