About Julien
Dr. Julien Cisonni is a Senior Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics in the School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Curtin University. He is a core member of the Fluid Dynamics Research Group and serves as a Research Data Champion, advocating for research data management best practices, reproducibility, and FAIR data principles among colleagues and higher degree by research students. Cisonni coordinates and teaches undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics, such as ENGR2000 Fluid Mechanics. He earned his PhD from Grenoble Institute of Technology (Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble - INPG) in 2008, with a thesis on the production of acoustical signals in speech and singing using non-linear vocal fold models. Early in his career, he was affiliated with GIPSA-Laboratory, Department of Speech and Cognition, at Grenoble Universities, where he conducted research on glottal flow models, aeroacoustics, and upper airway flows. He held short-term positions at Osaka University in 2013 and Université Grenoble Alpes from 2011 to 2012. Since joining Curtin University as a Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering around 2013, he has advanced to his current senior lecturing role.
Cisonni's research centers on computational fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interactions, particularly in biomedical contexts including upper airway dynamics, sleep apnoea, snoring, phonation, and vocal tract flows. Key publications include 'Effect of the nasal cavity in anatomically accurate airway models' (Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2015; 44 citations), 'Effect of the velopharynx on intraluminal pressures in reconstructed upper airways' (Journal of Biomechanics, 2013; 39 citations), 'Theoretical simulation and experimental validation of inverse glottal flow models for unsteady flow conditions' (Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008), 'The stability of a flexible cantilever in viscous channel flow' (2017), and 'Impact of Online Preparation Modules on Students' Performance and Engagement in Fluid Mechanics' (2023). As Chief Investigator, he contributes to the Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP210103206 (2021), 'Fluid-Structure Interactions in Flows through Flexible-Walled Channels,' awarded $308,000. His computational models have utilized Pawsey Supercomputing resources for predicting sleep-related breathing disorders. Cisonni serves as Secretary of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society, participates in conference scientific committees like AFMC2024, and has delivered public lectures on sleep apnoea and snoring mechanisms. His contributions enhance predictive modeling for physiological flows and treatment strategies in respiratory disorders.
