Phone: (512) 471-4147
Office: WRW 301A

Education:
Ph.D., Syracuse University

Research Interests:

  • Steady and unsteady aerodynamics

  • Turbulence and shear flow phenomena

  • Aeroacoustics

  • Separating/reattaching flows

  • Open and close-loop flow control

  • Experimental techniques

  • Nonlinear systems

  • Reduced order modeling

Dr. Tinney's research is concentrated on designing novel experiments capable of fostering the development of reduced order models for estimating, predicting and eventually controlling the large-scale mechanisms that are implicit to a variety of turbulent and shear flow phenomena: bluff body flows, separating/reattaching flows, transient flows and jet aeroacoustics.

He joined the Cockrell School of Engineering in Fall 2008 after serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Florida and spending over two years at the University of Poitiers as a post-doctoral fellow of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

He is a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the American Physical Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
