Mihnea graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2024 with a focus on propulsion and fluid mechanics. He investigates gas-turbine combustion systems and injector concepts, enabling improved efficiency, operability, and emissions. He uses computational fluid dynamics to study applied and fundamental combustion, turbulent mixing, and reacting flow problems.

Research Interests: Combustion modeling; Turbulent reacting flows; Combustion instabilities; Flame stabilization
