BIOGRAPHY
Irmak Taylan Karpuzcu obtained his Ph.D. degree from Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned his Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (2019) and his Bachelor of Science degree (2015) from Middle East Technical University, where he conducted his graduate research under the supervision of Prof. Cüneyt Sert. He is a certified graduate teacher and a MAVIS future faculty fellow. His research focuses on the numerical simulation of high-speed fluid flows, leveraging high-performance computing techniques. His master's work centered on modeling turbulence in supersonic flows using large eddy simulation. His initial PhD research focused on the non-equilibrium thermochemistry of hypersonic flows. Currently, his research involves investigating the stability of high-speed laminar flows at high altitudes using kinetic theory, linear stability analysis, and data-driven approaches.
