Biography

Serhiy Yarusevych is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, where he is also the principal investigator of the Fluid Mechanics Research Lab. His research primarily focuses on fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, encompassing experimental fluid mechanics, flow control, and energy harvesting from fluids. He investigates flows over lifting surfaces at low Reynolds numbers, buff bodies, and flow-induced vibrations. His laboratory is equipped with a variety of experimental facilities aimed at studying key flow phenomena such as boundary layer development, laminar-to-turbulent transition, and separated flows. Professor Yarusevych employs experimental, numerical, and analytical approaches to gain insights into flow behaviors and estimate performance parameters for engineering applications. His work is supported by numerous national and international funding agencies and industrial partners, and he actively collaborates to enhance design challenges in engineering systems like wind turbines and unmanned aerial vehicles.
