Julien Antoni Carreiro

Julien Carreiro is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering, joining the Burke Lab in Fall 2026 after earning his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from Union College. As an undergraduate, he participated in several research projects, including an NSF-funded study investigating the effects of structural flexibility on turbulent flow over isolated roughness elements in a water channel. He presented this work at the 2025 APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Annual Conference, and the resulting journal article is expected to be published in 2026. Building on his background in fluid mechanics, Julien is excited to study high-pressure combustion and explore the potential of renewable fuels for future technologies.
