About Methma

Dr. Methma Rajamuni is an Associate Lecturer in the School of Science at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales. She holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Monash University, a Master of Science by Research in Applied Mathematics from Texas Tech University, USA, and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Her research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, investigating fluid-structure interactions, flow-induced vibrations of bluff bodies, and ember storms during bushfires. She has developed efficient and stable numerical techniques, including immersed boundary methods, lattice Boltzmann methods, spectral element methods, and finite volume methods, to study complex dynamical systems such as wake unsteadiness, bluff-body aerodynamics, birds and insect flight dynamics, acoustics, and environmental flows. Her broader interests include systems and control, optimization, robotics, and bio-mathematics. As a dedicated tertiary lecturer, she integrates her research into teaching materials for mechanical and aerospace engineering, mathematics, and statistics subjects, bridging theory with practical applications.
