Shahram Karami

Shahram Karami is a Research Fellow at the Lab for Turbulence Research in Aerospace & Combustion (LTRAC), Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Monash University. His research focuses on high-fidelity simulations (DNS/LES) of turbulent/reacting flows, aeroacoustics, and hydrodynamic instabilities in supersonic impinging jets. He joined Monash in June 2016 under Prof. Julio Soria's supervision.

Previously, he completed his PhD (2012-2015) at the University of Melbourne's Combustion Research Group, where he conducted groundbreaking DNS of lifted flames under Prof. Evatt Hawkes and Dr. Mohsen Talei. His PhD work produced influential studies on flame stabilization and edge-flame structures in Combustion and Flame (2016) and JFM (2014).

Research Interests: Fluid flow instabilities, turbulent flows, combustion physics, heat transfer, and aeroacoustics. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy and climate action.

Peer Review Activities: Since 2014, he has reviewed for leading journals including International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Combustion and Flame, Physics of Fluids, Aerospace Science and Technology, and Proceedings of the Combustion Institute.

Labs/Teams: Active member of LTRAC, collaborating internationally on fluid dynamics and supersonic jet instabilities. His research has been cited over 200+ times, with key contributions to understanding jet noise mechanisms and combustion dynamics.
