Dr. Carlos Uriarte | Fluid Mechanics | Research Excellence Award

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain

Dr. Carlos Uriarte holds a PhD in Science from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, with a strong academic foundation in Aeronautical Engineering through his BSc and MSc studies at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad Europea de Madrid. He received a prestigious predoctoral fellowship that was extended into a postdoctoral appointment in recognition of the early completion of his doctoral research. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, contributing to both teaching and advanced research. His scientific work focuses on ultra-low temperature physics, superfluidity, and quantum levitation, with active collaboration alongside the Lancaster University ultra-low temperature research team. He has authored five high-impact research publications along with a scientific monograph and has presented his findings at multiple international conferences. He is actively engaged in several research projects, including a major initiative funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. His collaborative projects include studies on the creation and evolution of quantum turbulence in novel geometries, as well as advanced detection systems for levitating spheres in superfluid helium-3 and investigations of freely moving spheres within superfluid environments, supported by the European Microkelvin Platform. His research interests span fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum fluids, and quantum turbulence, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to fundamental physics.
