Kourosh Shoele is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University (FSU), part of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He previously held roles as an Assistant Research Scientist at Johns Hopkins University and a Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on fluid-structure interaction, computational mechanics, and bioinspired engineering, with applications in renewable energy, aerospace, and biological systems.
Education: Ph.D. (2011) and M.Sc. (2006) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, San Diego and Sharif University of Technology, respectively, and B.Sc. (2003) from Shiraz University.
Research emphasizes multiphase fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, energy harvesting, and shock wave dynamics. Notable projects include studies on cryogenic fuel storage, bioinspired robotics, and mask efficacy during respiratory disease transmission. His work has been recognized with awards such as the NSF Career Award (2020) and DARPA Young Faculty Award (2019).
Advising and Team: Leads the Computational & Theoretical Multiphysics Laboratory (CTML), mentoring graduate students and postdocs across fluid dynamics, thermal management, and robotics. Collaborates on interdisciplinary projects including mask aerodynamics, flexible tree dynamics, and shock-boundary layer interactions.
Labs/Teams: CTML Group, with ongoing collaborations in fluid-structure interaction, renewable energy systems, and biomimetic design. Active in publishing high-impact research in journals like Physics of Fluids and Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
