How well did LSU prepare your for post grad?
Very well for Thermals/Fluids. And I have Keith Alan Gonthier to thank for that. My rigid body statics/dynamics needed work but I made up the slack.
My career started out doing turbulent combustion modeling inside rocket and jet engines. I then spent a little bit of time doing aerodynamic design for race cars. Finally, I shifted to doing more aerodynamic design and optimization of coupled fluid-thermal-structural interactions of high speed systems.
LSU did a fine job preparing me to work in all of these fields.

Keith Alan Gonthier
Did not know his middle name , but definitely the best professor/teacher I ever had. Tough....no doubt about it. But if you paid attention (which wasn't hard since he basically yelled the whole lecture with enthusiasm), then you have everything you need to pass. And when the whole class was struggling, he'd hold extra class hours in the evening. He changed how I approached school and that's what got me through.
It's amazing how well organized his lecture was for such difficult topics that could easily get sidetracked with questions. But he basically knew how the questions would come and was planned for it. I don't want to take his tests again, but I'd certainly voluntarily go listen to him speak on a topic.
