Biography

Martin works in the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University as a Research Fellow.

My background is principally in computational fluid dynamics, with some experimental work as well. My current project is focused on simulating the aerodynamics of elite cyclists, with a view to reducing drag. I also spend time researching flows in partially-obstructed pipes, which formed the basis of my PhD, and in developing software for numerical fluid solvers.

Keywords
