Jonathan Morrison (JFM) holds the chair of Experimental Fluid Mechanics in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College. Recent work has focussed on fundamentals of turbulent flow and control including novel approaches to flow control. He is currently exploring instabilities in transitional flows as part of the LFC-UK Programme Grant and the correspondence between the scalar and momentum fields as part of the Transpiration Cooling Systems Programme Grant. Other recent work has developed novel drag-reduction techniques for bluff-body flows both in open loop and with feedback control. He is also exploring travelling surface waves for turbulent drag reduction with support from Airbus. He is currently a member of the Aircraft of the Future Specialist Advisory Group of the ATI. He is Director and chairs the Management Board of the National Wind Tunnel Facility (NWTF), funded by EPSRC and the ATI. He led an exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition, 2014, “Smart Wing Design: Science Imitating Nature” in collaboration with Dr M. Braza and Prof. Rouchon
