Manuel Garcia-Villalba Navaridas is from Murcia (Spain). He studied aeronautics and aerospace at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). From 2002 he worked on his dissertation on the topic "Large eddy simulation of turbulent swirling jets, opens an external URL in a new window" at the University of Karlsruhe - the KIT (Karlsruher Institute for Technology) - where he received his doctorate in 2006. He remained connected to the Institute of Hydromechanics at KIT until 2010, but then switched back to Spain at Carlos III University in Madrid, first as a visiting professor and later as an associate professor.

Manuel Garcia-Villalba Navaridas' scientific home is now the Research Unit of Numerical Fluid Mechanics , opens an external URL in a new window(E322-02) at the aforementioned institute, which he also heads. There he deals with numerical fluid mechanics and its applications in mechanical engineering (e.g. the aerodynamics of bio-inspired aircraft) and biomedical technology (including the blood flow in the human heart).
