Please note the SJSU does not have a Ph.D. program.
Room and Wind Tunnel Booking
The calendar below shows existing appointments to use E-141 and/or the wind tunnel. If you would like to use the facilities, please choose an available time and email me at kathryn.gosselin@sjsu.edu with your request. If you wish to use either of the wind tunnels, I will need to approve the equipment and method, and I'll conduct a short (~15 minute) training session at a mutually agreeable time. Please be advised that you must provide your own measurement devices (pitot tubes, force transducers, etc.) when using the wind tunnel.
