About Me

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Mechanical Engineering at Newcastle University. My research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of multiphase and turbulent flows, with applications in mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineering. I use the lattice Boltzmann method (in-house codes) as well as DNS and LES (OpenFOAM-10) for my simulations. With international academic and industrial experience and a background in collaborating with diverse researchers and students, I am passionate about applying fluid mechanics and heat transfer concepts to real-world challenges.
