Casey Harwood is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Iowa's College of Engineering, and an Associate Faculty Research Engineer at IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering. He specializes in experimental fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interactions, and multi-phase flow phenomena. His research focuses on hydroelastic responses of lifting surfaces, ventilation in flows, and advanced modeling techniques. Harwood holds a PhD in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the University of Michigan (2016), an MSe from the same university (2014), and a BS from The Webb Institute (2011). He leads the Marine Science and Technology (MaST) Lab, which explores naval engineering challenges and fluid dynamics applications. His research trends emphasize multi-phase flow dynamics, including cavitation, ventilation, and hydrofoil performance in complex environments. Recent work addresses amphibious vehicle dynamics in surf zones and data-driven modeling for underwater vehicles. He also contributes to engineering education, designing curricula and digital tools for naval science and foundry science education. Notable collaborations include IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering. His lab focuses on experimental setups and numerical methods for real-time fluid dynamics analysis.
