Jean Lemay, Eng. and Ph.D., is a full professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Université Laval. Following research internships in the field of turbulence at CEAT in Poitiers, France, and at Cambridge University, UK, he obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1989 (Université Laval). He previously obtained his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (1986, Université Laval) and B.Sc.A. in Mechanical Engineering (1983, Université Laval). He specializes in fluid dynamics, turbulence, renewable energies, aerodynamics, thermodynamics and instrumentation. A recognized experimenter, he has authored or co-authored nearly 200 scientific and technical publications, including 10 patent applications. In 28 years of teaching in the mechanical engineering department at Université Laval, he has made a major contribution to the creation of a pole of excellence in experimental methodology, including measurement techniques, mechatronics, data acquisition and processing. He has designed several courses in these fields and developed numerous experimental set-ups for teaching purposes. He has received two Star Professor awards (1999 and 2012) from the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and three Inventor Recognition Awards (2012, 2013 and 2016) from Université Laval.
