Course Presenters Hubert Chanson is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland, 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 850 peer reviewed publications. He serves on the editorial boards of International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, Coastal Engineering Journal and Environmental Fluid Mechanics, the latter of which he is currently a senior Editor. He chairs the Organisation of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference in Brisbane, Australia to be held on 6-10 December 2020. Dr. Xianqian (Sophia) Leng is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Queensland. Her research interests include experimental investigations of unsteady rapidly-varied open channel flows, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of breaking waves, bores and positive surges, field investigations of tidal bores, and hydraulic design of fish-friendly culverts. Xinqian graduated from the University of Queensland with first class honour and PhD in Civil Engineering. She authored/co-authored over 30 peer- reviewed publications, including 18 international journal papers and 13 conference proceedings. Her works have been cited for 150 times according to Google Scholar, and the paper “Bores and Hydraulic Jumps. Environmental and Geophysical Applications” has won 2018 ICE Publishing Award Baker Medal. Xinqian is actively involved in international collaborations with overseas research institutions such as the University of Bordeaux (France) and Zhejiang Institution of Hydraulics and Estuary (China), as well as inter-disciplinary cooperation with industrial partners e.g. the New South Wales Department of Fisheries (Australia).
