Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Towery is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Colorado Boulder with a decade of experience specializing in single-phase fluid turbulence across all compressibility regimes and turbulent combustion. He combines deep expertise in URANS, LES, and hybrid RANS-LES modeling with practical skills in CFD algorithms and "outer loop" workflows like optimization, parameter estimation, and uncertainty quantification. Holding a Ph.D. from CU Boulder, Colin bridges rigorous academic research with hands-on computational implementation to tackle buoyancy- and shear-driven turbulence problems. He is based in Arvada, Colorado and known for translating complex turbulence physics into robust numerical models used for predictive simulation. Beyond core research, he actively pursues expanding his skill set and applying advanced UQ and optimization techniques to improve model fidelity.
