Personal profile

Research interests

Dr Aykut Tamer conducts research in aerospace engineering. His research encompasses a wide range of subjects, including:

  • predicting the behavior of novel aircraft architectures using innovative methods;
  • improving human-machine interaction in novel VTOL aircraft to enhance the acceptance of unconventional designs by pilots and passengers,
  • integrating hydrogen systems into aircraft models to understand the coupled behaviour under dynamic loading;
  • analyzing the dynamics of hybrid and distributed propulsion schemes to enhance aeroelastic stability;
  • a broad application area in nonlinear dynamics and vibration control;
  • exploring novel structures that can improve aircraft performance under impact and dynamic loads;
  • utilizing numerical and experimental approaches in aero-engine vibration to enhance the reliability and readiness of future propulsion systems.
