Dr. Ebenezer Essel

Biography

Ebenezer Essel completed his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana and pursued his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Experimental Fluid Mechanics at the University of Manitoba. He has gained significant experience through a postdoctoral fellowship in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Manitoba, conducting research in river-ice hydraulic engineering. In 2019, he was awarded a prestigious NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Windsor, where he focused on experimental and numerical studies of ground vehicle aerodynamics and wall-mounted bluff body jets. Subsequently, he served as a Research Associate at the Turbulence Research Laboratory at the University of Toronto, innovating in bioassay analysis using machine learning techniques alongside turbulence control methods. In August 2022, he joined the Department of Mechanical, Industrial, and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University. His research is concentrated on turbulence phenomena, including confined jets and bluff body aerodynamics, particularly focusing on experimental approaches complemented by numerical analysis to enhance understanding of complex turbulent flows. He is committed to applied research aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing flow-induced vibrations in structures, with a keen interest in aerodynamics of low-Reynolds-number vehicles. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including Fluid Mechanics II, Dynamics, and Aerodynamics.
