Computational materials scientist researching fatty acid and nanofluid simulations at the University of Cadiz, building Python workflows for large-scale analysis.

Message

At the University of Cadiz, I run molecular dynamics simulations of fatty acid and nanofluid systems for next-generation thermal management in automotive applications. I’m developing models to predict thermophysical properties and Python workflows to analyse large-scale simulation datasets.

At City, University of London, I simulated heat-transfer nanofluids in LAMMPS and validated predictions of thermal conductivity, viscosity, and density against experimental data from literature. Earlier, I modelled grain boundaries and hydrogen diffusion in nickel alloys at Johns Hopkins University, and developed crystallisation process models at the University of Leeds.
