Professor
Ray Stalker
AO FAA FTSE
Professor Stalker is an expert in the field of very high-speed gas dynamics. He has been associated with the free piston shock tubes at the Australian National University and the University of Queensland, which, since 1970, produce the most energetic streams of gas in the world. The associated theory, instrumentation and data handling have been investigated by Professor Stalker over the past 25 years. This work has resulted in new understanding of shock-wave/boundary layer interactions and numerous other aspects of very high-speed flows useful in designing space vehicles.
