Former Wind Tunnel Engineer and Manager
Manage operations at the Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility (formerly the Wind/Wave Tunnel Facility).
Dr Ryu Fattah is the Engineer/Manager of the Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility (AAF) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He received his MEng degree in aeronautics and astronautics from the University of Southampton with first-class honours in 2010. He joined the Airbus Noise Technology Centre (ANTC) at the University of Southampton (UoS) in 2010 and obtained his PhD in 2016. His PhD thesis focused on airframe noise, specifically by the landing gear system. He designed and conducted experiments in the UoS wind tunnels, and developed the ANTC's high-order computational aeroacoustics code. In 2014 he became a member of a 2-year ANTC-Airbus project that involved experiments in the Airbus wind tunnel at Bristol, UK. Afterwards, he joined HKUST in October 2016 and worked as a research fellow on high-order numerical modelling and establish the group's research into drone/UAV aeroacoustics.
