His previous studies were conducted at McGill University and Universite Laval located in Quebec, Canada. Other research interests include airfoil performance enhancement and design, wind-tunnel boundary corrections, design of unmanned aerial vehicles, and Gurney flaps. degree with research in horizontal-axis wind turbine blade design and optimization. PHILIPPE GIGUERE is currently working toward a Ph.D. He also designs R/C aircraft ranging from biplanes to flying wings. He has been involved in R/C aircraft for the past 12 years with the previous eight being focused on scale aerobatics. Besides his thesis research regarding lift hysteresis, he is also interested in boundary-layer tripping techniques and the optimization of flying wings. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in the spring of He joined the UIUC LSATs team upon his arrival at UIUC in the fall of 1995 and is currently working toward his M.S.
