Bio

death_valley_cropRamiro Godoy-Diana is a CNRS research scientist at the Physique et Mécanique des Milieux Hétérogènes laboratory (PMMH) at ESPCI in Paris, France. Physical engineer from the Tec de Monterrey (México, 1994), he holds a Master in Physics from the UNAM (México, 1999) and a PhD in fluid dynamics from École Polytechnique (France, 2004). His experimental fluid dynamics work has included research on ocean wave energy, geophysical fluid dynamics, wake instabilities, transition to turbulence, fluid-structure interaction, and animal and bio-inspired swimming and flying. He co-leads the “Biomimetics and fluid-structure interaction (BIOMIM)” group at PMMH. He was coordinator of the fluid mechanics French-Argentinian International Research Project IRP-IVMF and is member of the Scientific Committee of the IRL IFADyFE. He was also member of the Section 10 (now section 12) of the Comité National de la Recherche Scientifique in France for the 2016-2020 period. He is the Director of the PMMH laboratory for the 2025-2029 term.
