Dr. Hoke's current research efforts are done in conjunction with the University of New South Wales, Australia. He supervises four postgraduate research students who are all involved in the computational and experimental investigations of hypersonic fluid-thermal-structural interactions, including the investigation of thermal shape distortion on hypersonic vehicle stability and control, the experimental investigation of thermally buckled structures in hypersonic flow both in free-flow and the presence of shockwave-boundary layer interactions, and the effect of scramjet shape distortion on the flow path.
