Dr Turkbeyler is the Postgraduate Course Director of MSc Mechanical Engineering at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Automotive Engineering and an Associate Member of the Faculty Research Centre for Flow Measurement and Fluid Mechanics at Coventry University. He is a fellow of Higher Education Academy -UK.

Dr Turkbeyler is the module leader for fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate level for the Courses of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Systems Engineering, Oil & Gas Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing. He is a Director of Studies for Engineering Doctorate (EngD)-Program at the FMFM Research Centre and supervises MSc/PhD research students at the Faculty. Dr Turkbeyler is the School Ethics Coordinator and the School Placement and Employability Coordinator.

Dr Turkbeyler was awarded his PhD in Thermofluids from Imperial College London and gained his MSc in Renewable Energy from the University of Reading. He earned his BSc in Mechanical Engineering with distinction.

His recent publications and research interests include the areas of numerical modelling and computer simulations of urban microclimates, urban airflow and thermal environments, multiphase flow in oil and gas application, multiphase flow meters, compressible flows, turbomachinery aerodynamics, thermofluid systems and renewable energy applications.

Dr Turkbeyler worked at Imperial College London, Queen’s University Belfast, and the University of Reading before moving to Coventry University in 2011. Dr Turkbeyler developed an integrated numerical model for studying urban microclimates – both airflow and thermal environment (EPSRC project), and a fast CFD flow solver for aerospace industrial applications (CEIAT project).
