Tyler is a Research Engineer specializing in computational modeling of multiphase and nonequilibrium flows. His current focus is on developing modeling techniques for liquid and gas mixtures as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for diffusion-limited flows. He is CTFL’s Principal Research Engineer, and assists the group with project and code management.
His previous work includes aerothermal environment prediction for the entry descent, and landing (EDL) process through the Martian atmosphere, nonequilibrium flow analysis for small scale entry capsules, and molecular dynamics modeling of ionic liquids.
His research interests also extend to material response modeling, high enthalpy facilities, and organic biogasification.
