Mohamed Mahmoud is a Research Associate in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales and a member of the Flow Noise Group. His research focuses on indoor air quality, ventilation design, and airborne infection risk modelling in built environments. Mohamed specialises 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 modelling of respiratory aerosol emissions as multiphase flows generated by human activities such as coughing, sneezing, and breathing.
