Gopal H. Gaonkar (1938-) is an Indian born Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University, Florida. He earned his D. Sc., in Helicopter Engineering from Washington University, St. Louis, in 1967. He works in Helicopter dynamics, Floquet theory and large-Scale and parallel computing and has written many papers. Prior to joining FAU, he was Professor at the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India and at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville,Illinois.
Dr. Gaonkar studied B.E. and M.E. in Civil Engineering from B.V.B. College of Engineering & Technology, Hubli and VJTI, Mumbai.
