Adjunct Professor Richard Brown from Queensland University of Technology's Faculty of Engineering leads the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Group while directing the Biofuel Engine Research Facility. With expertise in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (thermofluids), his work spans renewable energy systems, engine emissions analysis, and environmental pollutant dispersion. Over 6,200 Scopus citations and $5M+ in research grants highlight his academic impact.
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering (University of Sydney)
- Bachelor of Theology (Sydney College of Divinity)
- Bachelor of Engineering (University of Technology Sydney)
Research emphasizes applied thermodynamics, internal combustion engine optimization, and alternative fuel development through projects like:
- 2015-2018 VIED-funded shipping emissions monitoring
- 2014-2018 ARC-funded satellite river flow monitoring
- 2012-2015 peak3 P/L diesel filtration studies
- 2008-2010 ARC-funded photocatalytic water treatment
His 2025 publications focus on ship emission modeling, reduced chemical kinetics, and biofuel nanostructural analysis. Professional roles include conference co-chair (Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference 2020) and editorial positions for environmental engineering proceedings. Teaching innovations feature interactive web tutorials and museum-based thermodynamics labs.
