Faculty Colloquium: Dr. Steve Schneider

Colloquium Title: Hypersonic Laminar-Turbulent Transition: Towards Exceptional Service in the National Interest

Steve Schneider received his B.S. from the California Institute of Technology in 1981. From 1981 to 1983, he worked at the Naval Ocean Systems Center in San Diego. Steve returned to Caltech in 1983, receiving a Ph.D. in Aeronautics in 1989 under Profs. Liepmann and Coles. His thesis involved experimental measurements of low-speed laminar instability and transition. He joined Purdue as an Assistant Professor in July 1989, and was promoted to Professor in 2004.

Purdue's College of Engineering is among the largest in the United States and includes 13 academic programs, all with high rankings. U.S. News and World Report ranks Purdue's College of Engineering in the Top 10 nationwide: no. 7 for graduate programs and no. 8 for undergraduate programs.
