Dr. Yuri Bazilevs received his PhD from University of Texas at Austin in 2006 and is an Associate Professor in Department of Structural Engineering at University of California, San Diego. He has been conducting computational fluid mechanics research since 2000, teaching classes on that subject since 2008, and has been conducting computational FSI research since 2005. He has published over 60 journal papers on computational fluid and structural mechanics and computational FSI. He coauthored a book on isogeometric analysis, a technique that is now widely used in computational fluid and structural mechanics and computational FSI. He taught short courses on these subjects. He received numerous awards for his research in computational fluid mechanics and FSI. He is an Assistant Editor of Springer journal Computational Mechanics for manuscripts on computational fluid mechanics and FSI.
