Synergistic Activities (i) Research Activities With his co-workers, graduate and REU students, Glauser conducts major experimental, computational and theoretical efforts to apply low-dimensional models to turbulent and transitioning flows. The experimental results include obtaining difficult single and multi-point statistical quantities in the various turbulent and transitioning flows using PIV, hot wire, hot film and LDA techniques.  Other research addresses application of PIV, LDV and Hot Wire techniques to high-speed heated jets and to the control of flow separation (AFOSR support).  The goal of the heated jet and the flow separation control work is to develop active feedback and control methodologies for noise reduction and separation control, respectively utilizing POD based low dimensional dynamical systems models.  Professor Glauser has obtained more than 10 Million dollars in research funding as PI or Co-PI from AFOSR, NSF, NASA/Langley, NASA/Dryden, NASA/Glenn, EPA, Dantec, United Technologies, Clear Science Corp. and others.   His current funding totals more than 6 Million dollars as PI or Co-PI.  He is a Fellow of ASME and the Institute of Physics (UK) and an Associate Fellow of AIAA. (ii) Expanding STEM Pathway for Underrepresented Students Glauser mentors minority graduate and REU students via the Central NY to Puerto Rico Corridor AGEP Program that involves SU as lead along with upstate NY partners RPI and Cornell along with the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM).  Glauser has been advising UPRM on the development of large centers and how to strengthen/launch their PhD programs in engineering.  As a Gateway Learning Community Faculty Fellow, Glauser mentors and advises Gateway community student residents.  The program is designed to develop competent and well-rounded scholars for post-baccalaureate education through a community where residents challenge and support one another as they prepare for their transition to life after Syracuse University. (iii) Professional Service As the Program Manager for the Turbulence and Internal Flows Program (AFOSR), Glauser was responsible for making the basic research funding decisions in the areas of turbulence, transition and internal flows (gas turbines) for the Air Force as well as providing future direction for the program.  This position involved a substantial amount of coordination and collaboration with Air Force Labs, other government agencies such as ARO, DARPA, NSF, ONR, NASA, the National Research Council, US industry, and academe.    Glauser served as meeting Chair for the 56^th APS Annual Meeting of the Division of Fluid Dynamics, November 2003, the largest fluid dynamics meeting in the world with more than 1300 attendees.  He served as Technical Chair for the AIAA Summer Fluid Dynamics Meeting, held June 2006 in San Francisco; this is the largest meeting within the aerospace community focused on fluid dynamics. Glauser is currently a member of the AIAA Fluids Technical Committee and serves as chair of the Experimental and Theoretical Fluid Dynamics Subcommittee of this TC.   Glauser is also an ABET evaluator for aerospace engineering. (iv) Collaborative Activities Glauser serves as Associate Director for Research of the Syracuse University-led NY STAR Center for Environmental Quality Systems (EQS).
