About
Prof. Amitay's research interests are in developing active flow control techniques with applications in aeronautical/mechanical systems. He conducts state-of-the-art experiments to understand the flow physics of 3-D flow fields and the interaction of flow control actuators with these flows.
D.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, 1994
