Scholarly biography
Cyril Crua is Visiting Professor of Thermofluids, former Director of the Advanced Engineering Centre, and Professor of Engineering at the University of Sussex.
His research focuses on fluids, heat and mass transfer processes in the energy, biomedical and manufacturing sectors. He has more than 25 years' experience on the development and application of optical measurement techniques to investigate the microscale physics of complex multiphase flows, such as fuel sprays, industrial process fluids (lubricants, coolants, carbon capture solvents), and biomedical fluid dynamics. His research has received continuous EPSRC funding since 2013 (until 2028), as well as support by industry, Innovate UK, INTERREG, and UKRI.
