Dr Tony Vo is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering investigating flow instability in rotating flows using computational fluid dynamics. His post-doctoral research involved fluid mechanics, flow stability and heat transfer. Examples include rotating and non-rotating horizontal convection informing global currents in Earth's oceans, planetary scale structures in the form of polar vortices, and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer in electrically conducting fluids within ducts for heat extraction relevant in nuclear fusion reactors.

He has since transitioned from technical engineering research to engineering education research. His research interests include: first-year student success, digital and physical learning technologies, TA development, outreach and diversity, student behaviours, and cross-disciplinary projects.

He specialises in teaching large core first-year units for which he has received various awards. He is also an academic advisor for the student team Precious Plastic Monash, whose mission is to reduce plastic pollution by building and empowering a global community to use plastic as a precious resource through a commitment to community, education, and design.
