Research interests:
Dr. Morris has research interests that are focused on fluid dynamics. These interests include activities in instrumentation, measurement techniques, and flow visualization techniques. His background includes extensive work in both internal and external compressible flows. Current activities include ongoing developments in an emerging measurement technology based on pressure- and temperature-sensitive paints through the development of a compact and affordable instrument. Another recent activity is the study and improvement of the performance of hydrocephalic shunt systems in collaboration with neurosurgeons at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria and OSF-Saint Francis Hospital. A new activity is the development of a gear dynamometer for testing of plastic gears.
