Dr Danielle Moreau, a Research Associate in the Flow and Noise Group at the University's School of Mechanical Engineering, is this year's Fulbright South Australia Scholar. Reducing noise from aircraft, wind turbines and submarines is the aim of the University of Adelaide's latest Fulbright Scholar. Dr Moreau will go to Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the United States for three months to study noise generation by airfoils (wings, rotor blades and fins).
Three other University of Adelaide graduates also won Fulbright Scholarships this year: Dr Christopher Elvin (Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons)), Ms Michelle Circelli (BSc (Hons) in Psychology) and Dr Andrea Gordon (Bachelor of Sciences and PhD in medical sciences).
The four University of Adelaide graduates are among 26 talented Australians winning a Fulbright Scholarship in 2013.
