About

Professor Christina Vanderwel is the Head of the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Research Group and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow in the Aerodynamics and Astronautics Department at the University of Southampton. 

She specialises in experimental fluid mechanics, turbulence, and dispersion. In particular, her research involves conducting laboratory experiments using laser-based diagnostics to study the mechanisms of transport of turbulent flows. Applications include building aerodynamics, urban air pollution, ocean mixing, vehicle aerodynamics and industrial flows.
