Dr Hossein Zare-Behtash was awarded a BEng (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering from UMIST. He continued on from his final year individual project to do a Ph.D. in Compressible Fluid Dynamics at The University of Manchester. He then took the role of Knowledge Transfer Fellow at the same university, working on short-term industry-led projects examining a broad range of experimental fluid dynamic phenomena, both compressible and incompressible. He joined Glasgow University as a Lecturer in 2013. Dr Hossein Zare-Behtash is a Lecturer in the Aerospace Sciences Division of the James Watt School of Engineering at UoG. He is one of the pioneering academics in the UK to develop and apply molecular sensing for the quantitative measurement of pressure and temperature in unsteady fluid dynamic phenomena, with a 15-year track record of investigating and applying pressure and temperature-sensitive paints. His research expertise includes the development/application of advanced flow diagnostics, instrumentation, and specialised flow rigs.
