Professor, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering
Dr. Serhiy Yarusevych received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2006. Since 2006, he has been directing the Fluid Mechanics Research Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research is focused on aerodynamics and its multidisciplinary applications in engineering, including operation of lifting and control surfaces, flows over bluff bodies, turbulence, flow induced vibrations and noise, and flow control. Additional details on the laboratory and ongoing research work can be found at www.fmrl.uwaterloo.ca.
Dr. Yarusevych supervises undergraduate and graduate students, as well as research associates, in general areas of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. The trainees focus primarily on experimental research, often supplemented by numerical and/or analytical modelling. The training is performed in a dynamic environment enriched by industrial and academic collaborations with national and international partners.
