Summary

What made you decide to be an engineer?

I was always interested in and good at Maths and Science, so was inclined towards a scientific discipline from a young age. My father is a Mechanical Engineer, so I was exposed to the field from early on. My father specialises in pneumatic systems, which didn’t excite me in the least, and I thought that’s what all engineers do. I wanted to be an astronaut, but I thought aerospace engineering was a good backup plan in case the former didn’t work out! My research expertise is in the field of applied computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of jet engine heat transfer, aerodynamics and aeroelasticity. I currently lead the CFD modelling campaign for various projects, in collaboration with industry partners and research groups, relating to various cooling system problems in modern jet engines. 3. What do you enjoy most about researching applied CFD, or working in engineering more broadly?. I love that my research can have a tangible impact on the environmental goals of the aviation industry, like reducing CO2 emissions, and having these new technologies being implemented by our industry partners on their generation of engines
