Arman Hemmati is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta, where he holds the position of U Alberta Engineering Research Chair in Emissions Reduction Technologies. His research primarily focuses on fundamental and applied topics in fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). His specific research areas include vortex dynamics, unsteady wakes involving sharp-edge bluff bodies and oscillating panels, as well as bio-inspired propulsors and energy harvesting technologies. He also engages in turbulence modeling for unsteady quasi-steady wakes using a non-linear eddy viscosity model, and explores alternative energy systems such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy extraction technologies. In aerospace technologies, he has developed analytical models for high-temperature vertical boundary layers and magneto-plasma-dynamic thrusters. In addition to his research, he teaches various courses including Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics.
