Dr Daniel Carlson is Specialist Technician with Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Group at the University of Southampton.
I run the fluid mechanics laboratories at the University of Southampton where I design, build, and manage experimental facilities including wind tunnels and water tunnels for engineering and enterprise research.
My background is in experimental fluid mechanics, spanning everything from classical fluid–structure interactions to non-Newtonian flows. I specialise in developing bespoke rigs and instrumentation, translating research questions into working experiments.
This work has supported peer-reviewed publications, research grants, and a patent application across multiple disciplines.
