About me

As a Graduate Tutor (GT) in Aerospace Engineering, I contribute to research, teaching and learning, and wider departmental activities. My research focuses on novel morphing-wing technologies and their application to bio-inspired aerodynamic design, with particular emphasis on improving aerodynamic performance and reducing aeroacoustic noise.

My work involves the numerical modelling and simulation of complex steady and unsteady aerodynamic flows using high-performance Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, primarily ANSYS Fluent. This includes the investigation of aerofoil and wing flows, dynamic stall, turbulence modelling, dynamic mesh techniques, and morphing aerodynamic surfaces. I also have experience developing and compiling User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in C/C++ to implement custom mesh-motion methods, boundary conditions, and aerodynamic modelling approaches within ANSYS Fluent.

Alongside my research and teaching activities, I have a strong interest in the natural world and in applying biological principles to engineering design. In particular, I am interested in how bio-inspired concepts found in birds and other flying organisms can inform the development of more efficient, adaptable, and quieter aerospace technologies.

Area of expertise

Aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including steady and unsteady flows, aerofoil and wing aerodynamics, dynamic stall, turbulence modelling, dynamic mesh methods, and morphing-geometry aerodynamics. C/C++ programming and developing and compiling User-Defined Functions (UDFs) for custom motions and fluid dynamics.
