Biography
Hemida is a senior lecturer and the Head of Research at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham. He is also the director of the MRes in Railway System and Integration. He has a PhD in the field of crosswind flow around ground vehicles and his research interests range from fundamental thermofluids and CFD (LES, and, DES) to applied computational wind engineering. He has more than fifteen years of working experience in both academia and industry running research projects that involve steady and unsteady simulations of single and multiphase flows, with special emphases on wind engineering and train aerodynamics.
