What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply rigorous simulation and optimization to real-world engineering challenges, particularly at the intersection of simulation and energy systems.

At the University of Birmingham, I’m conducting CFD analysis of cryogenic hydrogen storage systems for the NAVHYS project, assessing thermal performance and operational feasibility. I’m also connecting simulation results with techno-economic analysis to inform practical decisions about hydrogen energy systems for maritime applications.

My projects include a heat exchanger design study that identified improvements delivering a 15% thermal efficiency gain, and a thermoelectric energy recovery model with a 6% theoretical efficiency improvement. I use ANSYS Fluent and Python for simulation and analysis, and have presented research findings to researchers and industry professionals.
