Hadas Porat

Hadas Porat is a Research Fellow at the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering, The University of Queensland. Her work focuses on hypersonic flows, radiative heat transfer, and spacecraft atmospheric re-entry dynamics.

• PhD (2016): Measurement of radiative heat transfer in simulated Titan and Mars atmospheres

Her research explores hypersonic boundary layer turbulence, planetary entry conditions, and radiation measurement techniques using expansion tubes and shock tunnels. Publications include studies of Titan atmospheric entry, Mars re-entry simulations, and advanced sensor design.

Key trends in her work include radiation gauge development, super-orbital re-entry analysis, and multi-spectral emission spectroscopy for high-temperature flows.
