Summary
As Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering, I am primarily interested in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of complex flows including Urban Air Mobility Vehicles (Air Taxis), Jet Aeroacoustics, Turbomachinery, Electronics Cooling and Geothermal Energy. Multi-fidelity modelling underpins these areas, both in terms of turbulence modelling and geometry representation. Modern High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures are also being leveraged for both simulation and analysis of large data sets (Big Data), revealing unsteady flow physics. Further interests include increasing CFD automation, including mesh generation and optimisation, solution analysis and feedback into knowledge-based systems using Machine Learning and AI.
I am Director (numerical methods) of the Ã÷ÐÇ°ËØÔ Aerospace Research Centre (ARC). With a vibrant multi-disciplinary research culture, the ARC solves todays pressing aerospace challenges. We pride ourselves in supporting diverse researchers at all career stages and working with the largest and smallest industries. Please get in touch to see how the ARC can meet your needs.
.
For Chinese applicants, Ã÷ÐÇ°ËØÔ also has 20 PhD scholarships available. Please get in touch to discuss potential projects.
A range of self-funded projects are also possible, focusing on multi-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
