Professor Jaworski conducts mathematical and numerical modeling for fluid-structure interactions pertinent to aerospace, naval, energy, and biological applications. Representative topics of interest include noise mitigation strategies in low-speed flows inspired by owls, aeroelastic stability, vortex dynamics, unsteady aerodynamics, and microscale power generation. These investigations are carried out with an international cohort of researchers at major universities and national laboratories and have been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Department of Energy.
Jaworski was appointed a National Research Council Postdoctoral Associate at the Air Force Research Laboratory (2010-2011) and an NSF International Research Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge (2011-2013). He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the AFOSR Young Investigator Award, as well as the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring from Duke University. He is an author of over 30 publications in leading technical journals, including Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and Proceedings of the Royal Society A.
Jaworski is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and is a member of the American Physical Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
