Author Biography
Erik Dick was born on December 10, 1950 in Torhout,
Belgium. He obtained a M.Sc. in electromechanical
engineering from Ghent University in 1973 and a Ph.D.
in computational fluid dynamics in 1980. From 1973
he worked as researcher and became full professor of
mechanical engineering at Ghent University in 1995,
where he teaches turbomachines and computational
fluid dynamics. His area of research is computational
methods and turbulence and transition models for flow
problems in mechanical engineering. He is author or
co-author of about 125 papers in international scientific
journals and about 250 papers at international conferences. He is the recipient of
the 1990 Iwan Akerman award for fluid machinery of the Belgian National Science
Foundation.
