Andrew Antiohos

Dr. Andrew Antiohos is a Teaching Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Victoria University's College of Sport, Health and Engineering. His work integrates academic teaching with research in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and biomimicry engineering.

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Victoria University, 2015)
• BEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering with first-class honours (Victoria University, Australia)

Research focuses on turbulent flow control, vortex-induced vibrations, and seismic-resistant structural design. Recent projects include passive flow controllers for bluff bodies and self-slitting composite shear walls with energy dissipation systems.

His 7 research outputs (2009-2025) span fluid dynamics, structural engineering, and STEM education. Key trends include biomimicry applications in civil infrastructure and innovative teaching methodologies in engineering education.

• Top student prize in mechanical engineering (annually during undergraduate studies)
• Industry award for leadership and innovation in international engineering projects

Active in collaborative research and industry projects, Andrew contributes to UNSDGs 9 (Industry Innovation), 11 (Sustainable Cities), and 4 (Quality Education). He previously worked as a design engineer in the industry, focusing on fluid dynamics and computational design.
