About
Gurvan Jodin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of experimental fluid dynamics, robotics, and bio-inspired engineering. His work centers on developing intelligent, automated systems to study complex fluid-structure interactions, with a particular emphasis on vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and biomimetic propulsion. Jodin’s most notable contribution is the creation of the **Intelligent Towing Tank**, a robotic experimental facility guided by active learning algorithms. This system autonomously selects experimental parameters to maximize information gain, dramatically accelerating the study of complex fluid dynamics—his seminal 2019 paper on this work has garnered 78 citations, reflecting its high impact in the field. Beyond the lab, Jodin is deeply committed to STEM education and outreach. He has designed hands-on learning experiences using **FishBots**—simple bio-inspired marine robots—to introduce students to fluid mechanics and the principles of fish swimming. His work with Chinese students through a Sea Perch underwater robot summer camp (2020) addresses critical gaps in STEM pedagogy, blending engineering design with environmental science. Jodin’s unique ability to merge cutting-edge automation with accessible, educational robotics positions him as a leading voice in both experimental fluid dynamics and the next generation of engineering education.
