Dr Chandan Bose is an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering and leads the Bio-Inspired Fluid-Structure Interaction Laboratory at the University of Birmingham. His research is focussed on investigating a variety of complex multi-physics problems involving coupled nonlinear interactions, among which unsteady aerodynamics, nonlinear aeroelasticity, and bio-inspired fluid-structure interaction problems will be of primary interest.

Before joining the University of Birmingham, Dr. Bose played a pivotal role as a senior postdoctoral research associate contributing to an ERC project “Dandidrone” at the Vortex Interaction Laboratory, University of Edinburgh. His work revolved around deciphering the intricate fluid-structure interaction dynamics inherent in dandelion seed propulsion, culminating in its application to the development of microdrones. Additionally, he also served as an adjunct lecturer at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Bose embarked on a postdoctoral endeavor at at the Fluid-Structure Interactions and Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory and the Multi-physics and Turbulent Flow Computation Laboratory, Dept. of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, University of Liège, Belgium, during which he was bestowed with the Wallonie Bruxelles International Excellence Postdoctoral Fellowship and FNRS Postdoctoral Fellowship. This tenure was dedicated to unraveling the complexities of nonlinear aeroelasticity.

His academic journey commenced at The Uncertainty Laboratory, Department of Applied Mechanics and The Biomimetics Laboratory, Department of Aerospace Engineering in Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, where he earned both his master's and Ph.D. degrees in 2019. His Ph.D. research was on the dynamical analysis of the unsteady flow phenomena around a flapping wing. Noteworthy accolades, including the Institute Research Award and V. Ramamurthy Best Thesis Award (both from IIT Madras), as well as the esteemed Indian National Academy of Engineering Innovative Project Award, underscored the significance of his contributions to doctoral research.

His educational voyage began with a degree in Civil Engineering from Jadavpur University, India, where he achieved the distinction of university gold medalist, ranking first in his class.
