Dr. Meron Lavy (Mehran Moheban) is a specialist in the field of transonic Computational and Experimental Fluid Mechanics for turbomachines.  Educated at The King's School Ely, Mehran then attended University of London Kings College where he was awarded a first class bachelor degree with honors in Mechanical Engineering and pursued his doctorate studies at Cambridge University Engineering Department. He gained various distinctions during his degree course including the Sambroke Exhibition, Siemens Prize and the Engineering Society Prize.

Dr. Lavy - Moheban was supervised by Prof. J.B. Young whilst at Cambridge and his CFD code was based on the well known finite-volume methodology of Prof. J.D. Denton who was a real mentor during his time spent at the Whittle Laboratory.
The single- phase time-marching method was extended to incorporate simulation of two-dimensional blade-to-blade non-equilibrium two-phase flows in transonic steam turbomachines. He was the first to develop a CFD code to model unsteady pulsating flow due to supercritical heat addition phenomenon in steam flows. Numerous one- and two- dimensional nozzles were designed to measure pressure and droplet distributions for comparisons with theory and its verification.

After completing his PhD he joined Parsons Turbine Generators Research Department where he further developed the two- dimensional turbine blade flow simulation program and the streamline curvature method  that were widely used at the time for through flow calculations. His other research activities encompassed droplet deposition on blades due to flow trajectories and electro-static effects.

Amongst the academic positions held, Dr. Meron Lavy  joined the Thermal fluid section at Imperial College University of London as a Research Associate and developed an extensive facility for radial flow turbocharger testing and laser two-focus measurements in volutes. CFD code development were pursued for radial inflow turbine simulation.
Dr. Meron Lavy  was a Visiting associate at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering where he developed a three-dimensional semi-viscous flow simulation program for radial flow turbochargers and was closely associated with research efforts of companies in the USA.

He was a consultant to Rolls Royce Turbine Division Coventry and GE Research and Development division and other Engineering Research Companies. He is also involved in evaluation and examining patent infringements in fluidic machinery and worked in asociation with patent attorney firms. He authored an online Commercial aircraft/gas turbine news bulletin..

Besides CFD flow analyses which is his prime area of research and interest he is a Director of Sanicle Ltd. It is important to note that in the fast pace and intolerant society that we presently live, due to misconception and sometimes self-interest and for convenience, people disregard the merits of the disabled whatever its nature may be. But, evidently,  given the opportunity and the right environment to harness their skills and knowledge without prejudice, the disabled can perform the tasks with the same dedication, diligence and accuracy as the non-disabled if not even better. The employers are, for example, seeing the benefits of hiring gradutaes with autism because they have a unique talent for information technology, attention for detail and seeing patterns. Infact more and more employees are recognising the benifits of having a diverse workforce. There should be no discrimination in an educational establishment, with no double standards.The Disability and Equality Acts (for example in the UK see : UK Equality Act 2010 and the Disability Resource Centre) have made progress in removing the physical barriers but we still have some way to go in removing the more difficult and damaging attitudinal barriers. The aim of the Company is to develop and produce various innovative patented electro-mechanical devices to enhance the quality of every day life with particular emphasis on environmental issues. The projects pursued so far range from a miniature intraoral prosthesis to assist the laryngectomee patients with comprehensible speech; a flexible multi-moduled ramp for wheelchair users; to a unique sanitary door handle that minimizes cross-contamination in high traffic public areas - a breeding ground for bacterial and contagious diseases. Most of these designs are patented or pending patent.
