About

Hubert Chanson is Professor at the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland (Australia), where he has been since 1990, having previously enjoyed an industrial career for six years. His main field of expertise is environmental fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, both in terms of theoretical fundamentals, physical and numerical modelling. He leads a group of 5-10 researchers, largely targeting flows around hydraulic structures, two-phase (gas-liquid and solid-liquid) free-surface flows, turbulence in steady and unsteady open channel flows, using computation, lab-scale experiments, field work and analysis. He has published over 1,250 peer reviewed publications and more than 20 books. His h-index is 80, 51 and 47 in Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. He serves on the editorial boards of International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics, the latter of which he is currently a senior Editor. He co-chaired the Organisation of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference held in Brisbane, Australia {http://www.afmc2020.org}. and of the Organisation of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference held as a hybrid format in Brisbane, Australia on 6-10 December 2020.
