Dr. Budimir Rosic

Biography

Budimir Rosic is a Professor in the Engineering Science Department at the University of Oxford and a Fellow at St Anne's College. He joined Oxford after serving as a senior research fellow and college lecturer at the University of Cambridge. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Belgrade in Serbia and has worked as a researcher in the turbomachinery power plants group within the faculty of mechanical engineering. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge’s Whittle Laboratory in collaboration with Siemens Power Generation, where he investigated the aerodynamics of low aspect ratio turbines and leakage flows. Budimir has been a member of ASME since 2002, actively participating in the IGTI’s Turbomachinery Committee. He was a recipient of the ASME Gas Turbine Award in 2006 for his significant contributions to literature on combustion gas turbines. His current research focuses on modeling thermofluid processes in power generation systems and turbomachinery aerodynamics, emphasizing computational and experimental methods. Budimir's group collaborates closely with major manufacturing companies in power generation turbomachinery, benefiting from significant industrial sponsorship and grants. His research is crucial to Rolls-Royce’s strategy, and he has played a pivotal role in utilizing the Oxford Turbine Research Facility for advanced aerodynamics and thermal studies.
