Eldad AvitalDr. Avital is a Reader in Fluids and Acoustics at the School of Engineering and Materials Science of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). His expertise is in renewable energy, aero/hydrodynamics, and biofluid. His research has focused on drag redution and improving aero/hydrodynamic efficiency using innovative approaches, many inspired by nature. These approaches were implemented in fluid machinery for power and energy production as well as supporting biofluid systems. His QMUL Fluids Research Group uses high-fidelity computational simulations along with reduced-order modelling and experimental validation for design, development, and manufacturing of multi-functional materials. He is a prolific contributor to journal papers, an associate editor of two journals (Fluids for MDPI and Frontiers in Energy Research for Frontiers), a senior fellow of the UK Advance HE and a fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
