Yes GA Tech has one of the best combustion fascilities so this is no surprise to me. I got accepted for my PhD there but I thought Atlanta was one of the unfriendliest American cities I have ever been to, so I went somewhere else. Being born and raised in Amsterdam that means something.
This seems to be tailored towards earonautical propulsion for more general turbomachinery research there is also http://www.clemson.edu/scies/utsr/index.htm"
