Hubert Chanson is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland, where he has been since 1990, having previously enjoyed an industrial career for six years. His main field of expertise is environmental fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, both in terms of theoretical fundamentals, physical and numerical modelling. He leads a group of 5-10 researchers, largely targeting flows around hydraulic structures, two-phase (gas-liquid and solid-liquid) free-surface flows, turbulence in steady and unsteady open channel flows, using computation, lab-scale experiments, field work and analysis. He has published over 1,400 peer reviewed publications including two dozen of books. He serves on the editorial boards of International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, Journal of Hydraulic Research, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics, the latter of which he is currently a senior Editor. Since 1994, he has been involved in the organisation of a dozen international scientific conferences. And he chaired the Organisation of the 34th IAHR Word Congress (2011) and of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference (2020), both held in Brisbane, Australia..

Hubert Chanson received prestigious awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Institution of Civil Engineers, London (ICE), the International Association for Hydro-environment engineering and Research (IAHR), and the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society (AFMS),  His work was cited over 9,300 times (WoS) to 29,500 times (Google Scholar) since 1990. His h-index is 53 (WoS), 58 (Scopus) and 90 (Google Scholar).
