Shooka Karimpour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at York University, leading the Environmental HydroDynamics (EHD) lab. She received her doctorate in Civil Engineering from McGill University in 2015 and completed post-doctoral fellowships at McGill University and UQAM. Her research focuses on turbulent mixing and entrainment processes, which are critical for freshwater and marine ecosystems, particularly regarding sediment nutrient transport and availability. Currently, her team investigates processes affecting mass contaminant transport, with a concentration on entrainment in multi-phase flow and the hydrodynamics of aerated flows containing microplastic contaminants. Her findings have been published in notable journals such as the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Science and Technology, and Frontiers in Marine Science. Karimpour has received both international and national awards, including the Kefeer Medal from the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering.
