Summary
Joshua Eng is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with a decade of academic and research experience focused on fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics. He leads the formation of the UBC-Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, aiming to translate numerical methods into solutions for industrial, agricultural, and environmental challenges in British Columbia and beyond. His work blends high-performance CFD, experimental thermal anemometry, and analytic approaches to study shear-layer instability, transition, multiphase and particle-laden turbulence, with applied interests in pollutant dispersion and passive ventilation. A committed mentor and educator, he builds collaborative teams and curricula that emphasize project-based learning and practical software development, including custom solvers and visualization tools developed during his doctoral and research roles. Colleagues describe him as a connector who deliberately leverages teamwork—his motto TEAM drives both his research groups and community-facing impact.
