Hi. I'm Sally Bane. I'm an associate
professor in the School of Aeronautics
and Astronautics. I also have a courtesy
appointment in the School of Mechanical
Engineering. I got my undergraduate
degree in aerospace engineering from the
University of Virginia, and I did my
master's and PhD in aeronautics at
California Institute of Technology where
I graduated with my PhD in 2010. After
staying there for one year as a post-doc,
I joined the Purdue faculty as an
assistant professor in August 2011. So
I've been here for eight years now and
my general research areas focus really
in three areas. One is combustion
dynamics, primarily experimental
combustion. The second area is plasmas
for aerospace applications, and third
area is plasma and flow diagnostics.
