Kianoosh Yousefi
Principal Investigator, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware in 2020. Prior to joining UT Dallas, I was an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University and a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Marine Science and Policy at the University of Delaware. My research agenda is focused on fundamental turbulence and understanding the physics of turbulent flows in different environments, particularly turbulent air-sea interactions, surface waves, and the resulting generation of turbulence, spray, bubbles, airflow separation, and breaking waves.

Prior to joining UT Dallas, I was an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University (2021-2022) and a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Marine Science and Policy at the University of Delaware (2020-2021). My primary research interests include air-sea interactions, turbulence and mixing at free surfaces, turbulent boundary layers and airflow separation above surface waves, and breaking waves. Aerodynamics, active and passive flow control techniques and turbulence over wings and airfoils are some of my other research experiences.
