Biography
I joined Salford University as Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics in March 2016 and have introduced new research themes in CFD, nanofluid dynamics, multiphysical electromagnetic flows, rocket propulsion, coating simulation, solar nanotechnology, biomedical fluid dynamics, supercritical thermodynamics and thermo-elasticity. Earlier in my career I developed and delivered the MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering degree at Sheffield Hallam University (2007-2012) and led research in theoretical biofluid mechanics and computational rocket heat transfer. I taught aerodynamics, thermofluids, energy systems, railway fluid mechanics, propulsion, heat transfer, aero-structures and solid mechanics. I have collaborated with international research groups in the USA, Malaysia, Holland, France, Canada, Pakistan, India and Algeria. My research work/supervision has resulted in 3 recent awards: in 2017 (RAEs Teddy Fielding Prize, awarded to my BEng (Hons) aeronautical student Betty Islam for her final year project on aircraft wing water ingress simulation, based on a Lufthansa Malta placement secured by Mr. Ali Kadir which led to a journal publication in Arabian Journal of Science and Engineering in May 2019), in 2018 (Vice Chancellor Award for Research Excellence for my sustained output in leading high impact factor international journals and integration of new research themes into the engineering curriculum) and in 2019 (Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowship for Aerospace Research, awarded to my PhD student, S. Kuharat). I have been ranked as “internationally excellent†in the Internal Peer Review Process (March 2019). In May 2017 I was appointed to the editorial board of Journal of Nanofluids – the only journal in the world which focuses specifically on this key area of engineering science- in recognition of sustained contributions in nanofluid simulation in inter-disciplinary areas including medicine, energy and aerospace. I have been UK editor for the Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology (Singapore/USA) since 2010 and have coordinated many contributions in the areas of biological heat and mass transfer.
