When Farrukh Alvi stepped into the world of engineering, he didn’t have a grand plan.
His first direction as an undergraduate student was to pursue nuclear engineering, mostly because “it sounded so cool.” But his mechanical engineering classes, especially in fluid mechanics, proved intriguing. He followed that curiosity, which eventually led him to a supersonic wind tunnel in graduate school, where the visual beauty of high-speed flows sparked a lifelong passion for aerospace.
