Mohammad Omidyeganeh

Dr. Mohammad Omidyeganeh is a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Head of Engineering at City, University of London, where he has been employed since 2013. He previously served as a Lecturer (2013-2022) and has held various administrative roles including Programme Director for Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics (2019-2021) and Admission Tutor (2014-present). His academic career began with a Post-doctoral Fellowship at Queen's University in Canada following completion of his PhD.

Dr. Omidyeganeh's educational background includes:

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Queen's University, Canada (2013)
• MSc in Chemical Engineering (Environmental Engineering), University of Calgary, Canada (2008)
• BSc in Electrical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Iran (2005)
• Joint BSc in Petroleum Engineering, Sharif University of Technology and Petroleum University of Technology, Iran (2005)

His primary research interests focus on computational fluid dynamics, particularly large-eddy and direct numerical simulations. He specializes in immersed-boundary methods and fluid-structure interaction, with applications in environmental fluid dynamics, geophysical flows, and aerofoil design. His work spans from river flows and sediment transport to quiet aerofoil development and brain modeling, demonstrating a broad interdisciplinary approach to fluid dynamics problems.

Analysis of Dr. Omidyeganeh's recent publications reveals a strong focus on canopy flows, aeroacoustic optimization, and fluid-structure interactions. His work frequently employs computational methods to study turbulent flows over various geometries, with particular attention to drag reduction and flow control mechanisms. The research shows increasing collaboration with international teams and application to both environmental and engineering challenges.

Dr. Omidyeganeh has supervised multiple PhD students including Alessandro Monti (primary supervisor), Carlo Suardi, Marco Rosti, and others working on topics related to turbulent flows, aerofoil design, and computational fluid dynamics. His research has been supported by projects including the PELSKIN project, which investigated surface coatings in aeronautics.

He leads the Computing 2 Course in module ME2111 and has been instrumental in developing computational approaches to fluid dynamics problems, particularly those involving complex geometries and fluid-structure interactions. His laboratory work focuses on numerical simulations of environmental flows and aerofoil design optimization.
