Team
"Great things in experimental research are never done by one person; they're done by a team of people." – Steve Jobs
We are hiring
We are always looking for outstanding team members, including undergraduate research assistants, summer interns, and M.Sc./Ph.D./postdocs. Please visit our research page and check out our publications to see if our research directions interest you. You can also find specific topics under the "Team -- Open Positions" menu.
Prof Alex Liberzon
Alex has joined the School of Mechanical Engineering in 2006, after the postdoc at the Institute of Hydrodynamics at ETH Zurich and Ph.D. at the Technion (2003).
The research interests are related to experimental fluid dynamics, with the special focus on turbulent flows. More specifically, the major goal is to understand the subtle changes of turbulence structure in the flows with external influences or additives, e.g. stratification, two-phase particle-laden flows, dilute polymers, etc. In addition, Alex is promoting the open source software and open science. Additional research topics outside of small scale turbulence are in the fields of complex (pulsating, unsteady) flows in biology and medicine.
