Victor Muntean Erhan

Victor Muntean Erhan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fluid Mechanics and Aerospace Propulsion at the Technical University of Madrid, where he has been employed since March 16, 2018. His academic career progressed from Ayudante (2018-2020) to Profesor Ayudante Doctor (2020-2023) before attaining his current tenure-track position as Profesor Contratado Doctor (equivalent to Assistant Professor) on September 1, 2023.

His research is anchored in the "Analysis and experimentation in fluid mechanics and combustion" group, which he joined in 2012. Primary research interests include:

• Fluid Mechanics
• Combustion
• Aerospace Propulsion
• Thermodynamics
• Aerospace Engineering
• Applied Mathematics

Dr. Muntean Erhan's work integrates experimental and theoretical methodologies to address challenges in aerospace propulsion systems, with particular emphasis on fluid dynamics and combustion phenomena. His contributions span thermodynamics and chemical engineering domains, focusing on energy conversion efficiency and propulsion system optimization through interdisciplinary approaches combining physics, mathematics, and engineering principles.

As a longstanding member of the fluid mechanics and combustion research group since 2012, he participates in collaborative experimental and analytical projects advancing fundamental understanding of reactive flows and propulsion technologies, with applications in next-generation aerospace systems.
