Professor Mungal's research efforts have covered subsonic and supersonic mixing and combustion, turbulent reacting jets in coflow and crossflow, image processing of turbulent flows, drag reduction of bluff bodies, flame stability – liftoff and blowout, flow in microchannels, and most recently, studies of drag reducing polymers in turbulent boundary layer flows. He is the author or co-author of over 130 refereed and conference papers in these areas; 5 examples of his research photographs have appeared in textbooks. He has won several teaching and advising awards including Stanford's Tau Beta Pi award for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and the School of Engineering Distinguished Advisor Award. Professor Mungal previously served as director of the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratory and Associate Chair for Student Services where he directed ABET accreditation efforts. He is currently the Associate Dean for Graduate Policy and the Resident Fellow at Rinconada House, a Stanford freshman dorm. He is a member of the APS, AIAA (Associate Fellow), ASME (Fellow), ASEE, and the Combustion Institute. He has served on several review panels for NIST, NSF, NASA and Sandia Livermore, and has lectured at the VKI short courses on “Turbulent Combustion” in the area of experiments on combustion.
