About me

My journey & personal goals

Highly motivated aeronautical engineer with a strong foundation in fluid dynamics and a passion for innovation. Leveraged my MSc studies to specialize in CFD, turbomachinery design, and flow modeling. Proficient in coding, software development, machine learning, and GUI creation, expanding my skillset beyond traditional engineering.

Developed a novel machine learning method for turbomachinery design during a training program at the prestigious von Karman Institute for fluid dynamics. Currently extending this method to create a universal design tool applicable across a wider range of turbomachines. Eager to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to the aeronautical and naval field, with interests spanning external flow simulations, aeroelasticity, and turbomachinery
