Dr. Charles Hoke serves as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Technology at UNSW Canberra, specializing in computational aerodynamics and energy harvesting systems. His academic foundation includes a Bachelor's in Engineering Mechanics from UC San Diego (2000) and a Master's in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University (2001), with ongoing PhD studies at UNSW Canberra. His educational background comprises: Bachelor of Science in Engineering Mechanics, University of California, San Diego (2000) Master of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Stanford University (2001) PhD candidate in Engineering, University of New South Wales, Canberra (present) Dr. Hoke's research centers on unsteady fluid-structure interactions, with primary focus areas: Computational investigation of flapping foil power generation systems Active flexibility mechanisms and near-wall flow effects Hypersonic shock-structure interaction phenomena Energy harvesting applications from oscillating foils Analysis of his publication history (2004-2024) reveals a progressive research trajectory from missile aerodynamics (2004) to advanced computational studies of bio-inspired propulsion systems. Recent works (2023-2024) demonstrate significant innovations in active morphing techniques for power extraction efficiency and high-fidelity modeling of hypersonic fluid-thermal-structural interactions, reflecting his dual expertise in defense applications and renewable energy solutions. His professional experience includes eight years as a US Air Force officer (2000-2008), serving as Aeronautical Engineer at the Air Force Research Laboratory and Assistant Professor at the Air Force Academy where he directed courses in aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics, followed by four years as Lead Aerodynamicist at Raytheon Missile Systems (2008-2012).
