معرفی
Julio Soria is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Monash University, where he also holds a leadership role at the Victorian Heart Institute (VHI). He has been a core academic staff member since 1993 and was promoted to full Professor in 2000. He founded and directs the Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace & Combustion (LTRAC), a key research hub in fluid dynamics.
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, University of Western Australia (1989)
- B.E. (1st Class Honours), University of Western Australia (1983)
- Postdoctoral Fellowships: CSIRO (1989–1990), Stanford University & NASA Ames Research Center (1990–1991)
His research spans Fluid Mechanics, with emphasis on turbulent flows, boundary layers, supersonic jets, and optical measurement techniques like PIV and tomographic methods. Recently, he has integrated scientific machine learning and physics-informed neural networks into fluid dynamics research. His work bridges engineering and biomedical applications, including drug delivery and cardiovascular flows.
The most recent publications highlight his work in biomedical fluid dynamics (e.g., sperm motility), inhaler design using CFD and PIV, and advanced 4D imaging techniques. These reflect broad expertise in both experimental and computational methods.
His scientific honors include:
- Fellow, Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society
- Associate Fellow, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)
- Member, American Physical Society
- Member, EUROMECH
He serves as Associate Editor of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Mechanics and on editorial boards of Experiments in Fluids and Experimental and Thermal Fluid Science. He leads multiple active research projects in turbulence, flow control, and biomedical applications, and is actively mentoring PhD students. He is also a key investigator in interdisciplinary collaborations involving medical devices and industrial fluid systems.
Julio Soria leads the Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace & Combustion (LTRAC), established in 1994, which conducts cutting-edge research in experimental and computational fluid dynamics, with applications in aerospace, energy, and health.
