About Me

Multiphysics Modelling Engineer specialising in AI-accelerated computational modelling. Passionate about developing advanced numerical solutions to solve high-impact, complex, and multidisciplinary engineering challenges in the energy transition.

Selected Research Projects

I have worked on a variety of projects, including, but not limited to:

  • Agentic LLMs for Science: Automating tasks in computational science using agentic LLMs.
  • Accelerating Chemically Reacting Flow Simulations: Using machine learning to elegantly speed up simulations of chemically reacting flows by three orders of magnitude.
  • Developing a 3D Viscous Unstructured Turbomachinery Flow Solver: Creating an unstructured mesh flow solver designed for both multiple GPUs and CPUs.
  • Chemical Kinetic Solvers with Embedded Multi-Objective Optimizers: Developing solvers that incorporate multi-objective optimization techniques for improved reaction performance.
  • High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Using high-fidelity CFD to investigate complex aerothermal, supersonic, highly turbulent interactions in a novel turbomachinery concept aimed at decarbonizing over 40 high-temperature processes.
