Spencer Sherwin is a Professor of Computational Fluid Mechanics in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London. He received his MSE and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. Sherwin’s research focuses on the development and application of parallel high order spectral/hp element methods (Nektar++) for flows involving complex geometries, with a particular emphasis on vortical and bluff body flows as well as biomedical modeling of the cardiovascular system. He has collaborated with industry partners such as McLaren Racing, Airbus, and Rolls Royce to apply these methods in real-world scenarios. Previously, he held the RAEng/McLaren Racing Fellowship, advancing the development of wall-resolving large eddy simulation capabilities for highly unsteady separated flows. His academic career at Imperial College London spans multiple positions including Reader and Senior Lecturer. He has been actively involved in teaching and research in aeronautics since 1995.
