Eckart Meiburg
Professor, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
University of Southern California

Eckart Meiburg received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1985, having worked on the topic of vortex dynamics in two- and three-dimensional mixing layers and wakes. After working with G.M. Homsy in the Chemical Engineering Department at Stanford University as a postdoctoral student in 1986-87, he joined Brown University as an Assistant Professor. Since 1990, he has been in the Aerospace Engineering Department at USC. He has also held visiting appointments at ETH Zurich, the University of Grenoble, and at ESPCI in Paris. His research interests include particle laden flows, the vorticity dynamics of non-swirling and swirling jets, porous media flows, problems in directional solidification, and the evolution of miscible interfaces. In 1990, Professor Meiburg was awarded the Presidential Young Investigator Award by the National Science Foundation.
