As well as serving as Associate Chair, Matida is a member of both the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery, and the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matida\u2019s research at Carleton University has focused on aerosol science and technology (aerosol characterization and deposition); nozzle sprays;&nbsp;dispersed two-phase random-walk models; dispersed two-phase impinging jets; large eddy simulation (LES); and laser-doppler velocimetry (LDV).&nbsp; The applications of this research are found in pharmaceutical aerosols (pressurized metered dose inhalers) and add-on spacer devices; nasal drug delivery; diesel fuel characterization; airfoil-vortex interaction related to rotorcraft; aircraft icing; and airborne allergen dispersion.&nbsp; More information about Matida\u2019s research at Carleton University can be found at Carleton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aerosolresearchlab\/\">Aerosol Research Lab website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department officially announces its new Chair, Dr. Edgar Matida.&nbsp;
