Biography

Josep M Bergadà studied Mechanical Engineering at ETSEIAT (Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeries Industrial i Aeronàutica de Terrassa)-UPC in 1990. He also did his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Fluid Power Systems, at the same institution in 1996. During the period 2000 to 2010, he closely worked in the fluid power field with Prof. J Watton at Cardiff University, UK. His research focused on low Reynolds fluid mechanics applied to piston pumps and conical seat relief valves. During the period 2010-2014, his research was mostly based on collaboration with TU-Berlin, and focused on active flow control, studding the different fluidic oscillators and their possible applications. At present, active flow control applications as well as fluidic oscillator performance are his main research interests. He has over 50 international conference publications and journal papers, as well as several books on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power. He is currently an Editorial Board Member of an SCI journal.
