Hoang's area of research is in the development of vortical structure over axisymmetric bodies and delta wing models undergoing time dependent maneuvers. He has extensive research experience in the use of lasers, and optical parametric oscillators for particle sizing and velocity and flow-field characterization using advanced optical techniques. His background includes intrusive and non-intrusive velocity measurement techniques (particle image velocimetry, laser-Doppler velocimetry, hot-wire anemometry, seven-hole probe), pressure measurement systems, electronics and data acquisition systems. In the past five years, he has been working on the development of data relay systems for scientific applications utilizing commercial LEO and GEO satellite systems. He has over 40 invited and refereed papers in various conferences and journals. He earned his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering at VPI&SU (1984), MS degree in Engineering Mechanics at VPI&SU (1989) and Ph.D. degree in Engineering Mechanics at VPI&SU (1991).
