Omid Amili earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tehran Polytechnic (2003) and, after completing an M.S. and two years in industry, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Monash University, Melbourne (2012), where he specialized in wall-bounded turbulence. He then spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher in Monash University's Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion, investigating supersonic jet flows. In late 2015, Dr. Amili joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota as a research associate, expanding his research to unladen and particle-laden turbulent flows and biofluid systems. In December 2019, Dr. Amili joined the Department of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Toledo as a tenure-track Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in Fall 2026. His research centers on experimental fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on particle-laden flows. Dr. Amili develops experimental methods and hardware and software platforms for advanced flow diagnostics and the study of complex fluid-flow phenomena, with research funded by federal and state agencies as well as industry.
