Invited Keynote and Plenary Speakers
Prof Michael P. Paidoussis , McGill University, Canada
Founder of the Journal of Fluids and Structures and author of two of the most relevant books on fluid-structure interactions. In the words of Prof Stuart Price, “Michael’s contributions to engineering, and in particular to fluid-structure interactions, are far too numerous to list here. But in addition to the obvious ones, such as: being the founding editor of this journal, the author of two books on fluid-structure interactions and being the founding and principal organizer of a series of conferences on fluid-structure interactions, Michael has also made significant and long-lasting contributions towards the education of other engineers. Indeed, Michael’s enthusiasm and inspiration have been the impetus for a large number of students and colleagues, who have started their research or engineering careers under Michael’s supervision and have then gone on to have successful careers of their own. Often Michael has continued to mentor these students long after their formal education has finished.”
Prof. Marianna Braza, IMFT, France
Marianna Braza obtained her Doctor of Science at the “Institut National Polytechnique” of Toulouse in December 1986 and entered in CNRS, Centre National de Recherche Scientifique of France at the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse as Chargée de Recherche and since 2001 as Director of Research. She is leading since 2012 the research platform “Smart Morphing Centre”, www.smartwing.org that includes the activities of five French research Institutes in this topic and collaboration with Airbus. She is coordinator of federative European research projects in Aeronautics, as the recent ones, “SMS” - “Smart Morphing and Sensing” project, www.smartwing.org/SMS/EU and the “BEALIVE”- “Bioinspired Electroactive multiscale Aeronautical LIVE-skin”, http://horizon-europe-bealive.eu/ , 2023-2027. She is coordinator of the ERCOFTAC - “European Research Community on Flow Turbulence and Combustion” Special Interest Group “Fluid-Structure Interaction” and associate Editor in the Journal of Fluids and Structures.
Prof. Stéphane Moreau, University of Sherbrooke, Canada
Stéphane Moreau obtained his engineering degree and MSc from ISAE- Sup’Aéro (France) in 1988. He then got his PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 1993. He then worked for a start-up company AC2 on plasma physics in 1994 where he developed the plasma micro-thruster concept used nowadays on most satellites. He then worked for a year at the turbo-engine builder Snecma (now Safran Aircraft Engines) on nozzle designs. Late 1995 he joined the automotive Tier-1 supplier Valeo where he worked for 13 years on engine cooling fan system design and promoted simulation in all branches of the company. He then joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty of Université de Sherbrooke in 2009 as an associate Professor. He became a full professor in 2011. His research topics include aeroacoustics, turbomachinery design, turbulence and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). He has more than 600 scientific publications with more than two third in aeroacoustics with significant contributions in analytical noise modeling, experimental noise measurements and large scale numerical aeroacoustic simulations noticeably for turbomachinery applications (requiring high power computing for instance).
Professor Yu Zhou, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, China
Yu Zhou completed his PhD degree at The University of Newcastle in 1992. He joined The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1995 and rolled through the ranks of Assistant, Associate and Full Professor. In 2013, he moved to Harbin Institute of Technology and founded the Center for Turbulence Control. His main research interests are experimental studies of turbulent flows (bluff-body wakes, jets, boundary layers, etc.), flow-induced vibrations and artificial intelligence control of turbulence. He has published over 230 rigorously refereed archival journal articles, 40+ in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. He is a highly cited researcher, an elected Fellow of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society, and Associate Editor of the AIAA Journal.
Prof. Njuki Mureithi, Polytechnique Montreal, Canada
Njuki Mureithi is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal. He received his PhD in Nonlinear Dynamics and Fluid-Structure Interactions at McGill University. From 1993-1996, he worked in the Vibration & Noise Control Laboratory of the Takasago R&D Center, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. From 1997-2002 he was Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Dynamics & Control, at Kobe University Japan. Professor Mureithi held the BWC/AECL/NSERC Industrial Research Chair of Fluid-Structure Interaction at Polytechnique Montreal from 2003-2010. His research work is primarily in fluid-structure interactions, focusing on multi-phase flow-induced-vibrations and related vibration design. Fundamental research areas of interest include nonlinear dynamics of fluid-structure interactions and low order modelling of complex flows.
