Camli Badrya earned her B.Sc. in aerospace engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park. During her graduate studies at Maryland, her research focused on unsteady aerodynamics, bio-inspired flight and large-gust response at low Reynolds numbers. She later joined the Institute of Fluid Mechanics at the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany), where she led a research group on laminar flow control and drag reduction technologies for aviation.
Badrya has a broad background spanning computational fluid dynamics (CFD), experimental aerodynamics, flow control, helicopter aerodynamics, and aircraft design.
