Sharul Sham Bin Dol is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Assistant Dean for Research and Innovation at Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Dr. Sharul Dol received his Ph.D. from the University of Calgary, where he worked on studying a pulsatile flow over a reverse stage using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) under a scholarship from Talisman Energy Inc. Dr. Sharul's primary research interests are in the fundamentals of turbulent flows, unsteady flows, vortex dynamics, and hydrodynamic instability with applications in vehicle aerodynamics, flow assurance, and flows in oil and gas pipeline networks. There is a strong interest in turbulence and renewable energy. These studies provide engineers with insights into the development of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the design and operation of crude oil pipelines, gas turbines, and heat exchangers under highly unsteady flow conditions. He has conducted several industry projects related to unsteady turbulent flows, aerodynamic effects on structures, renewable energy, flow assurance, and oil and gas pipeline hydrodynamics. Dr. Sharul's professional qualifications include Chartered Energy Engineer from the Energy Institute and Chartered Engineer from IMechE.
