Professor David J. Mee

David Mee is a Professor in the Centre for Hypersonics in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering at The University of Queensland. David has conducted research into hypersonics aerodynamics and has taught courses on fluid mechanics and aerospace propulsion for more than 20 years. In the 1990s he was a member of the UQ team that demonstrated for the first time that a scramjet engine could produce more thrust than drag. His current research interests include reducing the drag in scramjet combustors and investigating the process of transition from laminar to turbulent flow at hypersonic speeds.
