Bio

Léon Lüer has been a research associate at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics (ISM) since May 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Radespiel. He holds a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from TU Braunschweig, as well as a French engineering diploma from the Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC). He conducted his master’s thesis during a one-year research stay as a Visiting Graduate Student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA, USA, in the Hypersonics Research Lab (HRL) under the supervision of Prof. Wesley L. Harris. His current research at ISM focuses on the experimental determination of freestream disturbances in hypersonic wind tunnels.
