Josep Anton Ferré Vidal
Full Professor of Fluid Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili since 2000, where he has taught undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral courses in various degree programs at ETSEQ and ETSE. He holds a degree in Chemical Sciences (1980) and a PhD in Chemical Sciences (1986) from the University of Barcelona, where he began his academic career, which he complemented with training and research stays at the Universities of Cambridge and Toronto.
He carried out a fifteen-month postdoctoral stay at the University of Cambridge, focused on the application of artificial intelligence algorithms and laser visualization systems, followed by a subsequent stay at the University of Toronto to study the effect of distortion on the turbulent wake of a cylinder. Before fully joining the field of Fluid Mechanics, he served as a lecturer in the areas of Statistics and Operations Research and Chemical Engineering.
He has participated in more than 60 competitive research projects, 35 of them as principal investigator, in the fields of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and turbulence. He is a member of the consolidated research group ECoMMFiT, has supervised five doctoral theses, and is the author of more than 50 scientific publications and monographs, as well as 75 contributions to international scientific conferences.
