Biography

Dr. Denis Aslangil joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics (AEM) at the University of Alabama as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2021. Prior to joining AEM, Dr. Aslangil was a postdoctoral researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). He is an expert in turbulence and active scalar turbulent mixing and specializes in high fidelity Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). He is also developing physics-informed machine learning turbulence models capable of capturing all physical features relevant to the real flow. His research interests include the theory, modeling and simulation of multi-material turbulence; hydrodynamic instabilities in nuclear fusion, ICF; sub- and super-sonic flows; physics informed machine learning; and high-performance computing.
