Although commercial flights weren’t that common in the Republic of Turkey 20 years ago, mechanical engineering alum Denis Aslangil ’15G ’19 PhD was no stranger to airplanes.
His mother’s family lived in France at the time, so as a child, he would fly regularly back and forth with her to visit. Those experiences sparked a lifelong curiosity about what he would come to know as fluid dynamics, the field that, in basic terms, studies the flow of gases, liquids, and plasmas.
