• Project Engineer

  • Feb 2013 - Dec 2017

  1. Led a team through a live demonstration and adaptation of a vehicle under-hood flow application for a major automotive company, reducing the CAD to solution time from 3-5 weeks to 6 hours, and resulting in the acquisition of Simerics software licenses by the company. 2. Worked on multiple OEM funded research projects in collaboration with the respective companies’ researchers, on cutting edge future technological developments:3. Developed and established the first-of-a-kind complete 3D CFD cooling model and performed simulation of physics including temperature change, wax phase change and pressure valve response.4. Developed the only available 3D numerical simulations of metal-foam heat exchangers in a cooling system using a universal “mixture” model approach.5. Work closely with clients to develop best practice solutions, perform customer support and training, to solve fluid flow and cavitation issues using PumpLinx®.6. Generated CFD models for vehicle components using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools. 7. Geometric mesh creation, user-scripts, simulation and post-processing.
