Dr. Masoudi is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Aeroacoustics and Aerodynamics at the University of Bristol. His research lies at the intersection of unsteady aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and fluid mechanics, with a focus on understanding and controlling complex flow phenomena relevant to sustainable and emerging technologies. His work aims to advance noise reduction and performance enhancement in applications such as wind energy, urban air mobility, and energy harvesting systems.

Dr. Masoudi’s research integrates both experimental and numerical approaches to study turbulence, vortical structures, and flow-induced noise. His experimental investigations involve advanced wind tunnel testing, including particle image velocimetry (PIV), unsteady pressure and velocity measurements, and microphone array techniques for aeroacoustic characterization. Complementing these, he employs high-fidelity computational methods such as large-eddy simulations (LES) to gain deeper insight into the underlying flow physics and noise-generation mechanisms.

Before joining the University of Bristol, Dr. Masoudi developed extensive experience working on interdisciplinary projects that bridge fundamental fluid dynamics and applied engineering. He actively collaborates with UK and EU research institutions and industry partners to address real-world aerodynamic and aeroacoustic challenges, supporting the design of quieter, cleaner, and more efficient technologies.

Dr. Masoudi welcomes motivated PhD students and postdoctoral researchers interested in experimental and computational fluid dynamics, unsteady aerodynamics, and noise control. Prospective candidates are encouraged to get in touch to discuss potential research opportunities.
