About

Hey! I'm Ibrahim, an aeronautical engineer with a strong passion for the aerospace and aviation industry. I'm aspiring to work in the aircraft design sector. In the past, I've recieved training at various airlines, and I'm just as active now being a part of student associations and seeking more career-boosting opportunities. My Master's specialization is CFD aerodynamic analysis. I'm open and flexible to roles in other design and mechanical sectors!

Experience

  • Aerodynamicist Intern at Rete Ferroviaria Italiana
    Jan 2025 - Dec 2025 · 1 yr

    MSc Thesis: "CFD analysis of the influence of train geometries and tunnel configurations on the slipstream phenomenon" • Implemented CFD URANS technique in OpenFOAM to provide important slipstream effect data for multiple tunnel geometries and train types at variable operation velocities. • Developed a 30% more time-efficient setup by utilizing a hybrid approach in a stationary train-and-tunnel model with validation against experimental and other numerical results.

  • Electronics & Propulsion Department Member at Fly Mi - EUROAVIA Milano
