About Me

I am a lecturer (assistant prof.) in mechanical engineering at Newcastle University. My research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of multi-phase and turbulent flows with applications in mechanical, and chemical engineering, and environmental flows. I use the lattice Boltzmann method (in-house codes) and DNS, LES (OpenFOAM-10) for my simulations. With years of international academic and industrial experience and working with a diverse range of researchers and students, I am keen to apply fluid mechanics and heat transfer concepts into our real-world challenges. I welcome world-wide collaborations in these areas.
