Associate Professor Melrose Brown is a faculty member at UNSW Canberra, School of Engineering and Technology, where he leads numerical space situational awareness research and coordinates the Space Masters program. He holds advanced degrees in Aerospace Engineering and specializes in applying high-fidelity simulations to satellite-environment interactions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
- Research Focus: DSMC/PIC simulations for LEO satellites
- Orbit propagation and determination
- Ionospheric drag modeling
- Atmospheric physics
- Hypersonic CFD
His recent publications analyze thermospheric responses to geomagnetic storms using GITM-OVATION models, ionospheric drag effects, and numerical tools like pdFOAM. Key keywords include Space Weather, Satellite Formation Control, and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
He supervises Ph.D. projects related to aerospace engineering and offers scholarships for research in LEO dynamics. His work involves collaborations on CubeSat missions (e.g., M2) and space traffic management systems.
