* This profile page is created/updated for the 1st IAHR Online Forum (July 5-7, 2021) * Ivan Marusic is a Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor and the Deputy Dean Research in the Faculty of Engineering and IT at the University of Melbourne. His research is primarily in experimental and theoretical studies of turbulence at high Reynolds numbers, including using atmospheric surface layer flows and large wind tunnel facilities. Over his career he has held a number of prestigious fellowships, including an Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellowship (2012-2017), ARC Federation Fellowship (2006-2011), and a Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering (2001-2006). He is recipient of a number of awards including an NSF Career Award, the Woodward Medal at the University of Melbourne and the Stanley Corrsin Award from the American Physical Society. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society and the Australian Academy of Science. In addition, Professor Marusic is well known to the hydro-environment research community as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and IAHR Journal of Hydraulic Research.
