Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Biography
Engin Danis is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia. His research advances computational methods for complex fluid dynamics, with a particular focus on high-speed and hypersonic regimes. Leveraging expertise in high-order discretizations, turbulence modeling and large-scale numerical simulation, he develops algorithms that capture intricate flow phenomena with high fidelity and computational efficiency.
Before joining the University of Missouri, Danis was a postdoctoral research associate in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he pioneered tensor-train–based solvers for large-scale partial differential equations, enabling new capabilities in compressible flow simulation. He also brings industry experience from GE Aviation, where he contributed to the development of high-fidelity simulation tools for thermal-fluid systems in aircraft engines. His research has been published in leading journals such as Journal of Computational Physics, AIAA Journal, Physics of Fluids and International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow. Danis is an active member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Physical Society and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
