Bio/Research

Dr. Abbas Ghasemi is an expert in computational, experimental, and data-driven thermo-fluids research with a focus on vortex dynamics, shear layers, turbulent jets, multiphase flows, atomization and droplets. From working on Net-Zero and Green Energy conversion technologies to studying disease transmission in indoor/outdoor spaces, Ghasemi brings a holistic perspective to fluid physics.

Research highlights:
1. Analyzing disease control strategies at the FIFA World Cup.

Using the 2022 FIFA World Cup as a test case, Ghasemi worked with an academic-industrial collaborative team to develop a generalizable model framework to inform the use of disease control strategies at mass gatherings, which was published in the Plos Computational Biology journal.

2. Developing fluid-physics-informed models and frameworks to prepare for future pandemics.

Collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, and Laboratory for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (LIAM), Ghasemi contributes to an international COVID-19 task force by integrating his expertise in the fluid physics of pathogen transport to the development of new models, frameworks, and policies.

3. Published in acclaimed journals, including Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluids, and Scientific Reports.

To advance his understanding of the underlying physics of complex fluid flows, Ghasemi has published numerous peer-reviewed papers that explore vortex dynamics, turbulent multiphase flows, and droplets.
