Biography

Dr. Satoru Okamoto is currently a Professor in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Shimane University, Japan since 1995. He pursued his degree in M.Sc. in 1977 and Ph. D in mechanical engineering in 1980 from Osaka University. Then, he worked as a researcher in the Research & Development Department at Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (IHI). At IHI, he worked as a researcher of aircraft engines and gas turbines, and had also designed compressors and fans of jet engines. He was an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering atNiihama National College of Technology from 1988 to 1994. Meanwhile, in 1994, he joined ProfessorDonald Rockwell’s group at LehighUniversityas a visiting research scientist for about one year.During this period, he explored anapplication of flow visualization and PIV in the field of flow-induced vibrations. He was also a member of AIAAand the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineering. Prof. Okamoto has served as Editorial Board Member for leading energy journals and Chairperson of the 10th International Symposium on Advanced Science and Technology in Experimental Mechanics (10th ISEM '15-Matsue). In addition, he has published over 150 journal and conference publications, as well as 4 book chapter-authors for his researching performance.

Research Interest

His current research interest lies in advanced thermal and fluids science and technology such as flow-induced vibrations, small-scale energy systems with gas turbines and heat pumps, and experimental fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
