معرفی
Prof Carl Sangan is a Professor of Sustainable Propulsion and Power at the University of Bath’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, serving as Director of Research and Deputy-Director of the IAAPS Research Institute. He specializes in gas turbine engineering, focusing on experimental and theoretical modeling of flow and heat transfer in rotating disc systems. His work bridges academic research with industry applications, particularly with Siemens and Safran Aircraft Engines.
Education: MEng (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering, PhD in Turbomachinery, followed by postdoctoral research and a University Prize Fellowship in Gas Turbine Engineering (2012). Academic roles include Lecturer (2014), Senior Lecturer (2017), Reader (2020), and Professor (2022).
Research interests span gas turbine efficiency, optical methods for cooling system analysis, and innovations in shaft sealing. Key areas include hot-gas ingestion modeling, compressor cavity heat transfer, and film cooling of turbine blades. His projects are primarily EPSRC-funded but closely integrated with industry.
