Professional profile
CFD & simulation engineering
Mechanical and aerospace engineering experience spanning computational fluid dynamics, finite-element methods, fluid–structure interaction and experimental validation. Reusable modelling workflows in Python and C++ connect numerical analysis with measured data.
Experience
2023—Present
PhD Candidate · Computational Aerodynamics
- Developed hybrid Eulerian–Lagrangian CFD methods for unsteady external flows and integrated large-eddy simulation into a GPU-based particle solver.
- Created OpenONDA, a modular Python/C++ framework connecting a vortex-particle solver with OpenFOAM through in-line Python control.
- Investigated multirotor wakes and atmospheric-boundary-layer entrainment using simulations and experimental data.
2021—2022
Research Engineer
- Calibrated a transition-sensitive RANS model against experiments for transonic turbine flows in a Pratt & Whitney Canada partnership.
- Designed towing-tank setups with actuation and measurement systems and analysed PIV/PTV data for unsteady flows.
2019—2021
Graduate Researcher · Fluid Dynamics
- Developed graph-based methods for coherent-structure detection in sparse particle-tracking data.
- Used CFD and towing-tank experiments to study a marine propulsion and energy-harvesting concept.
2018—2019
Research Associate · Fluid–Structure Interaction
Investigated vortex-induced vibration and damping using 2D and 3D CFD models of elastically mounted cylinders relevant to offshore risers.
2017—2018
Mechanical Engineering Intern
Built a real-time vibration-monitoring system and supported load estimation, structural modelling, site work and technical reporting.
