Research Background

Dr. Sarjit Singh Sidhu Junior is a Senior Lecturer and core aerospace propulsion researcher at the School of Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. He completed his comprehensive technical training at the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), Russia, where he obtained his B.Eng., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering. His underlying academic background highlights the structural design and fluid dynamics of rocket engines and alternative energy powerplants. His research focuses significantly on mitigating the wave drag of relief surfaces during supersonic flow conditions and optimizing advanced altitude-compensating nozzle attachments.

Current Research Topics

  • Performance analysis of advanced rocket engines and energy powerplants
  • Investigating wave drag reductions of micro-relief structural surfaces during supersonic flow conditions
  • Flow field analysis and expansion optimization of altitude-compensating nozzle attachments
