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's Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion, investigating supersonic jet flows. In 2015 Dr. Amili joined the University of Minnesota's Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics as a research associate, expanding his work to unladen and particle-laden turbulence and biofluid flows. Since December 2019 he has been a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Toledo. Dr. Amili develops hardware and software platforms for advanced flow diagnostics in complex environments. His research centers on experimental fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on particle-laden flows and particle-fluid interactions in biofluid systems.
