Biography

David's research is primarily in the field of applied bluff body aerodynamics. The application of both passive and active techniques to reduce aerodynamic drag and thereby increase transport efficiency is increasingly important.

He manages the large wind tunnel facility at Monash University and directs the research and commercial projects undertaken in the facility.  David works in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University as a Senior Lecturer.
