Biography
Dr. Suvash C. Saha is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. His research expertise spans a range of interdisciplinary areas, with current interests in computational biomechanical engineering, solar thermal energy technologies, natural convection heat transfer in buildings and confined geometries, and scale analysis of transient fluid flows. He earned his PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics from the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at James Cook University, Australia, in 2009. Prior to that, he completed his BSc (Honours) in Mathematics and MSc in Applied Mathematics (with thesis) from the Department of Mathematics, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Following his postgraduate studies, Dr. Saha began his academic career at IBAIS University, Bangladesh, where he served as a Lecturer in Mathematics and was subsequently promoted to Assistant Professor. His strong foundation in both mathematics and fluid mechanics underpins his contributions to advanced modelling in mechanical and biomedical engineering domains.
