Dr. Aditya Aiyer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Lehigh University. He leads the Multiscale Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence Laboratory, where his group employs theoretical analysis, high-fidelity numerical simulations, and advanced modeling techniques to investigate a broad range of problems in environmental turbulent flows. His research covers topics in air-sea interaction, offshore renewable energy systems, and particle transport processes. Before joining Lehigh, he was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. Dr. Aiyer’s work has appeared in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physical Review Fluids, and the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, where his doctoral research focused on the role of microscale droplet dynamics and oceanic turbulence in influencing the fate of oil released during deepwater spills.
