A/Prof. Anand Veeraragavan's research interests are in supersonic combustion of hydrocarbons, hypersonic aerothermodynamics, advanced optical diagnostics for hypersonic flows and microcombustion based portable power. He is the Co-Director for UQ's Centre for Hypersonics. Since 2021, he is an Associate Editor for the AIAA Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, which is a Quartile 1 Journal in Aerospace Engineering (Scimago).
A/Prof. Anand Veeraragavan joined the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering as a mechanical engineering lecturer in 2012. He was an Mid-Career Advance Queensland Research Fellow (2017-2020) awarded for conducting research in the project entitled
Supersonic Combustion of Hydrocarbon Fuels for High-Mach-Number Axisymmetric Scramjets
Anand graduated with a B.Tech in aerospace engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-Madras) in 2002. He obtained his MS (2006) and PhD (2009) degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. His Doctoral research, which focused on understanding flame stabilization in microscale combustors, won the best thesis award in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland.
After his PhD, he took up a research appointment as a postdoctoral research associate in the Device Research Lab at MIT where he worked on thermophotovoltaics and nanofluid based volumetric solar absorbers. He next joined GE Energy as a combustion technologist in the US. At GE, he worked primarily on designing the next generation, land based, heavy duty, gas turbine engine combustors focusing on cost, operability, reliability and emissions and also completed his lean Six Sigma Greenbelt certification at GE.
He is currently undertaking world-leading research in the field of hypersonics and supersonic combustion sponsored by Australian DST, U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and U.S. Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD). This includes leading the Australian effort in prestigious projects such as ground testing and simulations in support of the Boundary Layer Transition/Turbulence (BOLT II) flight test sponsored by the AFOSR.
His research interests include:
A/Prof. Veeraragavan's research and service contributions have had several impacts in his fields.
1. Associate Editor of AIAA Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets: As the AE for this prestigious Quartile 1 journal, A/Prof. Veeraragavan provides leadership in the fields of hypersonics and space by processing articles reporting novel scientific outcomes. He draws upon his wide network of international experts to undertake impartial and critical reviews to uphold the high-standards that can be expected of JSR, along with his own expertise in these fields to provide a fair and fast review of submitted articles.
2. Presenter of the Australian hypersonics country report: For the last three editions in a row of the premier AIAA Space Planes and Hypersonics Systems and Technologies conference, A/Prof. Veeraragavan has been extended an invite by the organisers to present Australia's hypersonics activity to a world-wide audience. This engagement through his presentation allows for a quick synopsis of all of the key Australian hypersonics research to be assimilated and broadcast, allowing for specific follow-up contact to occur with relevant teams with collaborators around the world.
3. Panelist on VAIBHAV forum: A/Prof. Veeraragavan was invited in 2021 to participate in an initiative from the Indian Prime Minister's office called VAIBHAV. One of the thrusts of VAIBHAV was on hypersonics, specifically identifying key fundamental scientific topics that should be pursued in this field. A/Prof. Veeragavan featured as one of the main panelists along with eminent professors such as Prof. Lele (Stanford), Prof. Gaitonde (Ohio State), Prof. Gupta (U. Maryland) and participated actively in discussions and deliberations on the future of Indian hypersonics research and potential partnerships with overseas groups. A whitepaper arising from this panel discussion is under consideration with the Indian government for action.
4. Co-Secretary of Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference: A/Prof. Veeragavan and colleagues from UQ and QUT jointly organised the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference in a hybrid mode overcoming the challenges of the COVID pandemic and providing a vital point of connection to fluid mechanicists both in Australia and overseas.

Design of combustor for supersonic combustion of hydrocarbons in high Mach number scramjets
This project directly relates to Dr. Veeraragavan's Advance Queensland mid-career Fellowship that will focus on developing scramjet technology capable of utilising longer chained hydrocarbons at Mach 7 - 8. I envisage there are at least two PhD projects to advance the state-of-the-art in the following:
Interested students with a good chance at obtaining scholarships should get in touch. There may be a possibility to offer top-ups in excess of the scholarships along with required budget for travel to conferences and experimental/computational aspects of the project.

Design of combustor for supersonic combustion of hydrocarbons in high Mach number scramjets
This project directly relates to Dr. Veeraragavan's Advance Queensland mid-career Fellowship that will focus on developing scramjet technology capable of utilising longer chained hydrocarbons at Mach 7 - 8. I envisage there are at least two PhD projects to advance the state-of-the-art in the following:
Interested students with a good chance at obtaining scholarships should get in touch. There may be a possibility to offer top-ups in excess of the scholarships along with required budget for travel to conferences and experimental/computational aspects of the project.
