Dr. Luc Mongeau

Biography

Luc Mongeau is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. His research is focused on Voice Biomechanics and Mechanobiology, where he investigates fundamental aerodynamic mechanisms of voice production using dynamic physical models and numerical simulations, including computational fluid dynamics. His work on multi-scale constitutive models explores the mechanical properties of the vocal fold lamina propria and surrounding tissues, addressing issues such as hydration and porosity of soft tissues. Additionally, he is involved in tissue engineering projects aimed at reconstructing human vocal folds, utilizing phonomimetic bioreactors and hydrogel scaffolds. His team employs various methods including the Lattice Boltzmann method for computational aeroacoustics and studies the mechanical properties of hydrogels, collagen fibers, and chitosan gels. Professor Mongeau's extensive publication record includes works focused on voice biomechanics and aeroacoustics, contributing significantly to the fields of mechanical engineering, acoustics, and bioengineering.
