INWED24 profile: Making waves in computational fluid dynamics

What originally sparked your interest in engineering?

My interest in engineering, particularly in pursuing a PhD in CFD within Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, was sparked by both academic fascination and practical experiences. As a researcher, I was captivated by the interplay between fluid dynamics and mechanical systems, especially when I first encountered CFD simulations. Modelling and analysing fluid flow behaviour using computational methods opened a new world of possibilities for solving real-world engineering problems.

My passion for engineering was further fuelled by working with CFD modelling and simulations. These projects demonstrated the practical applications of CFD in optimising designs and improving performance. The blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, coupled with the potential for innovation in wind energy harvesting technologies, solidified my decision to specialise in this field for my PhD. The challenge of pushing the boundaries of current technology and contributing to advancements in aerospace engineering and renewable energy drives my dedication and enthusiasm.
