Dr. Azadeh Jafari is a Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering at the University of Queensland, which she joined in 2024. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Adelaide, after obtaining Bachelor and Master degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Guilan. Her research focuses on fluid mechanics, with a particular emphasis on turbulent flow and its role in engineering and environmental systems. Her work aims to advance the fundamental understanding of turbulence to support the development of sustainable engineering solutions. Her research activities include the analysis of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence, investigation of the effects of turbulent winds in renewable energy applications such as solar and wind energy systems, and development of strategies to reduce turbulent drag on vehicles operating in air and water, including aircraft and ships. Her current primary research area is the characterization of turbulent canopy flows using wind tunnel experiments, field measurements, and analytical modeling. These flows are commonly found in agricultural lands, forests, solar panels, and urban environments. Her research aims to improve the understanding of turbulent and scalar transport in these environments to inform operational strategies and design considerations in environmental, engineering, and urban applications. Prior to joining the University of Queensland, Dr. Jafari held lecturer and postdoctoral positions at the University of Adelaide. In addition to his research and teaching, he co-organized the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society (AFMS) Seminar Series and served on the AFMS Student and Early Career Researcher Subcommittee.
