Profile

I am a Lecturer in Computational Thermal and Fluid Sciences and the Programme Director of Aerospace Engineering at the School of Engineering.

My research interests revolve around high-fidelity simulations, low-order calculations and data-driven turbulence modelling, focusing on understanding heat and fluid flows in clean energy and transport systems and developing low-order tools as used in a design context.

I was awarded my PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Computational Aeroacoustics) from the University of Melbourne, Australia in September 2017 (under Prof. Mohsen Talei & Prof. Michael Brear). From September 2017 to November 2021, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Artificial Intelligence in the Turbulence Simulation & Modelling Group at the University of Melbourne under Prof. Richard Sandberg. During this period, I collaborated with well-known international industry partners consisting of General Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and McLaren Automotive Formula 1. In November 2021, I was offered an inter-disciplinary role as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Infectious Diseases Modelling and Biostatistics under Prof. Julie Simpson at the Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics within the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. Under this role before joining the University of Leicester in August 2023, I contributed to developing within-host models and associated statistical inference and machine-learning techniques to explain drug action.
