Background:

Prof. Gary Page holds the Chair of Computational Aerodynamics within the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering. He has 40 years’ experience in the development and application of CFD primarily for the aerospace and automotive domains. He has more than 100 publications in the field and has graduated more than 20 PhD researchers and secured more than £10M in research funding.

Previous work has focussed on automotive aerodynamics (EPSRC/JLR Programme for Simulation Innovation, EP/K014102/1 CI), gas turbine combustion systems (EPSRC CDT in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics, EP/L015943/1) and aircraft jet noise (EU FP-6 CoJeN, IUK/ATI SILOET2 and ACAPELLA). He was the project coordinator for the EU DYNAMO Clean Sky project and a partner on the Clean Sky 2 ODIN project.  He served on the management board of the EPSRC UK Turbulence Consortium (EP/L000261/1) and was part of the HPC Midlands management team (EP/K000063/1).

Currently, he serves on the management board of the EPSRC National Wind Tunnel Facility. Prof. Page is a co-organiser of the Automotive CFD Prediction Workshops, with the fourth edition held in Belfast in 2024. He held the position of Associate Dean Research in the School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering between 2016 and 2022. He is a fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Chartered Engineer.
