Hi! I am a M.Sc. Mechanical Engineer with over 8 years of experience in advanced simulation across fluid dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and multiphysics analysis. My career spans both academia and industry, enabling me to quickly adapt to new numerical models and methods while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams. At CERN, I led safety-critical CFD simulations for the Future Circular Collider feasibility study (a new 91 km long collider project), including cryogenic helium release, fire and smoke propagation, and evacuation modelling (Monte Carlo simulation with in-house Python coding) within large underground tunnels. These projects required high-fidelity transient CFD, species transport, and smoke modelling with FDS/PyroSim, validated against sensor data and integrated into safety cases. I automated workflows in Python on Linux HPC systems to ensure analyses were reproducible, traceable, and accurate. I am experienced in CFD–FEA coupled workflows, Multiphysics system simulations, and DOE-driven parametric studies, with a track record of delivering results in aerospace, defence, automotive, and energy sectors. My expertise includes custom Python scripting for modelling, preprocessing, validation, postprocessing and data analysis. As a Green Belt Six Sigma–trained engineer, I also bring structured experience in design optimisation, test rig development, measurement systems, and statistical data analysis. I thrive at the intersection of simulation, optimisation, and engineering design, and I am motivated to apply my skills to projects where accurate modelling and risk-based decision-making are critical.
Working in HSE-OHS-IB (The Occupational Health & Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) Unit- Occupational Health and Safety Group - Infrastructure and Building Safety) and performing parametrical calculations for the new collider feasibility project (Future Circular Collider – FCC): • Simulation and analysis of cryogenic (very cold helium, 6K, gas, RANS-DES) release into the accelerator tunnel and its emergency extraction with tunnel ventilation system (Using species transport modelling, the time-dependent propagation of the helium cloud and the oxygen level inside the tunnel are analysed), • In the tunnel: fire & smoke extraction simulation (VLES turbulence model) and analysis of various emergency extraction models by tunnel ventilation system (FDS & PyroSim: smoke distribution in the tunnel, smoke extraction, visibility level and the amount of toxic gas exposure were analysed), • Evacuation simulation of occupants in case of emergency in the tunnel (Monte Carlo simulation by in-house Python coding, similar to PathFinder). During the project, I participated in civil infrastructure project with a focus on internal aerodynamics and safety during operation and in fire scenarios. By using/coding (Python) different scripts and models, all the data were post-processed and statistically analysed automatically (HPC, Linux environment, SLURM). I authored reports and presented studies on the safety practices of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) in the case of emergency situations such as helium release or fire in the tunnel. https://fcc.web.cern.ch/
