Daniel Edgington-Mitchell

Daniel Edgington-Mitchell is an Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University. He is also a researcher at the Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion, contributing significantly to the fields of aeroacoustics and fluid mechanics.

His research focuses on jet noise, high-speed propulsion, and turbulence, with particular emphasis on understanding and controlling screech, resonance, and coherent structures in non-axisymmetric and supersonic jets. He employs advanced experimental techniques, including optical diagnostics and acoustic characterization, to study complex flow phenomena. His work contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable industry and innovation.

The trend in his recent publications shows a strong focus on elliptical and non-axisymmetric jets, guided waves, axis switching, and noise reduction strategies. His research integrates theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to address fundamental challenges in aerospace propulsion and aeroacoustics.
