Biography

Victoria Timchenko is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at UNSW Australia. Her research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics, particularly in the areas of natural convection and solidification melting processes, including binary alloys under various gravitational conditions. She has significant expertise in interface tracking dimensions and the application of this in open-ended channels, especially in integrated building photovoltaic systems. Her work also includes heat transfer enhancement, examining micro-channels, integrated circuit cooling using micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and the use of synthetic jet actuators. Timchenko conducts numerical and experimental studies on heat transfer enhancement using dimpled surface heat exchangers and investigates energy and water efficiency in manufacturing. In the biomedical field, her research involves nanoparticle transport for applications in cancer treatment and drug delivery, particularly utilizing laser hyperthermia on tumors with embedded gold nanoshells, alongside simulations of blood flow and nanoparticle transport.
