Dr. Turner is an assistant professor of computational fluid dynamics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He attained his PhD from the University of Southampton in 2019 focusing on airfoil-turbulence interaction noise and noise reduction from leading-edge serrations. Prior to coming to Colorado State University, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where he carried out research on compressible flows and aeroelasticity. He has also worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the Institute of Sounds and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton.

Dr. Turner’s research at CSU focuses on high-fidelity numerical simulations of aerospace applications including high-speed flows, aircraft noise, aerodynamics, propulsion and fluid-structure interaction.
