Mohamed Mahmoud is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He holds an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. His research focuses on indoor air quality, ventilation design, and airborne infection risk modeling in built environments. Mohamed specializes in the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate aerosol and CO₂ transport in indoor spaces, with a particular interest in classrooms, aged care facilities, and healthcare settings. His work includes advanced modeling of respiratory aerosol emissions as multiphase flows generated by human activities such as coughing, sneezing, and breathing.
