Major: Mechanical Engineering
Class: 2018
Vasco is a Ph.D. student working as a lead experimentalist in our shock tube facility. His current project utilizes advanced flow field diagnostics to study the microscale of shock-driven multiphase systems involving measurements to understand the simultaneous breakup, evaporation, and mixing of droplets behind a shock wave. His last work was on quantifying the macroscale hydrodynamics physics titled, “A method for measuring droplet evaporation in a shock-driven multiphase instability.”
Vasco is from Panama, Panama City. He holds a Bachelor’s in Aeronautical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration from the Technological University of Panama, and a Master of Science in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
