Biography
Dr Young completed her PhD in 2012 on the subject of Tip-Clearance Effects in Axial Compressors. She then went on to be the Maudslay-Butler Research Fellow at Pembroke College, and is now a Senior Research Associate at the Whittle Laboratory. Dr Young undertakes research at the Whittle Laboratory in two areas: axial compressors and tidal power generation.
Research
Unsteady flows in axial compressors.
Tidal power generation.
