Bianca Capra

Dr. Bianca Capra is a Senior Lecturer at Queensland University of Technology's Faculty of Engineering, specializing in scramjet propulsion, hypersonic aerodynamics, and natural ventilation in buildings. Her research bridges aerospace engineering and sustainable architectural design through advanced School of Mechanical, Medical & Process Engineering collaborations.

• Research Focus: Hypersonic flow modeling, combustion enhancement, building energy optimization
• Key Collaborators: Professor Russell Boyce, Associate Professor Veronica Garcia Hansen, Dr. Robin Drogemuller
• Methodologies: Computational fluid dynamics, experimental validation, thermal comfort analysis

Her publications demonstrate expertise in porous fuel injection systems, oxygen enrichment applications, and natural ventilation heuristics for high-rise structures. Notable works include SCRAMSPACE project contributions and radical-farming scramjet combustion studies. While no formal awards are documented, her 15+ peer-reviewed publications since 2005 establish significant academic impact.
