Biography
Dr. Chamorro is assistant professor in the department of Mechanical Science and Engineering in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is affiliated in the departments of Aerospace Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. He received a PhD from the University of Minnesota. Professor Chamorro has published over thirty peer-reviewed articles in leading journals, including Nature Comm, J Fluid Mech, Phys Fluids, and J Turbul. He is serving as Associate Editor of the Journal of Energy Engineering, and as Academic Editor and member of the Editorial Board of the journal Energies. He leads the Renewable Energy and Turbulent Environment group, and has developed a comprehensive, versatile and robust experimental approach that combines a set of state-of-the-art experimental techniques, including planar and 3D particle image velocimetry, computer vision, and 3D particle tracking velocimetry. This experimental framework allows him to study fluid dynamics-related problems from Eulerian and Lagrangian frames of reference.
