Edgar A. Matida

Edgar A. Matida is an Associate Professor at Carleton University, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and Design and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. His research spans aerosol science, computational fluid dynamics, and energy systems, with applications in pharmaceutical delivery, fuel cell modeling, and aerospace interactions.

• B.Sc., Sao Paulo University
• M.Sc., Ph.D., Yokohama National University

His primary research interests include:

• Pharmaceutical aerosols and inhalation devices
• Large eddy simulation (LES) and turbulent flow analysis
• Dispersed two-phase flow modeling
• Aerofoil-vortex interactions in rotorcraft
• Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs)
• Advanced aerosol characterization techniques (LDV, PIV)

Recent publications highlight trends in 2025 in e-cigarette aerosol dynamics, allergen dispersion modeling, and aerospace applications. Earlier works focus on 2024-2023 solidification processes, wind turbine analysis, and exposure chamber systems. All studies employ numerical methods (LES, CFD) and experimental validation.

Professional activities include

• Member, Editorial Board of Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery
• Member, International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM)
