This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Prof. David Go, a Purdue alumni who is currently the Rooney Family Collegiate Professor of Engineering and Department Chair of Aerospace and Mechanical engineering at Notre Dame University. He is a leader in the fields of plasma science and engineering, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. He has won numerous awards for his work such as the Air force Younger investigator Research Award, NSF Career award, and others. We trace his route from Purdue to Notre Dame, and the life lessons he learned along the way.
