Biography

John Lawson is a lecturer at the University of Southampton, specializing in experimental fluid mechanics and turbulent particle-laden flows. His research incorporates both theoretical and numerical simulations alongside the development and application of optical flow diagnostics to explore and quantify turbulent flows. Currently, he is a member of the Aerodynamics Flight Mechanics Group and has been involved in various projects including the Flow Facilities Refractive-Index-Matched Solution (FoRMS). He has previously been a Marie Curie Research Fellow and has conducted research at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Self-Organisation in Germany. His academic journey includes a PhD in Engineering from the University of Cambridge, where he focused on the scanning Particle Image Velocimetry study of homogeneous turbulence dissipation scale. John is also actively teaching various courses at the university and supervising projects at both undergraduate and master's levels.
