Meet Dr Buda Turhan, a Senior Research Associate at the University of Bristol, where he specialises in experimental aerodynamics and acoustics.

After moving to the UK to pursue a PhD at the University of Bath, Buda began looking for postdoctoral opportunities as his studies ended. During this time, he discovered the Global Talent Visa.

Buda talks about his experience of securing a Global Talent Visa and how it has supported his career by offering the flexibility and stability needed to pursue research opportunities across the UK.

The Global Talent Visa is the primary visa for researchers and innovators seeking to carry out research in the UK.
