• Baccalauréat (1999)

Professor Fellouah's research centers on fluid mechanics with applications in aerodynamics, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency. His work spans experimental, analytical, and numerical approaches to fluid dynamics problems. Key research areas include turbulence modeling, heat and mass transfer, active/passive flow control, coherent structures, clean energy technologies, and experimental fluid dynamics. His research has significant applications in wind and solar energy, transportation aerodynamics, and building ventilation systems.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging fluid dynamics with practical applications in transportation, renewable energy, and building design. The research shows consistent focus on computational and experimental methods to solve real-world engineering problems, particularly in aerodynamics, energy systems, and indoor environmental quality. His work often involves collaboration with industry partners and government funding agencies.

Professor Fellouah has secured substantial research funding from multiple sources including NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada), MITACS, and the Ministère de l'Économie et de l'Innovation du Québec. His grants portfolio includes Discovery Grants, Collaborative Research and Development Grants, and industry contracts totaling over $1.2 million in active funding, with previous projects exceeding $2 million.

As an academic leader, he has served as Coordinator for the 2nd year program in Mechanical Engineering, Director of Case Studies with Aerospace Industries, Co-president of the Master in Aerospace Engineering program, and President of the 27th Canadian Congress of Applied Mechanics (CANCAM 2019). He has also organized international conferences including the Student Aerospace Forum and coordinated sessions for the International Symposium Franco-Québécois.
