About

I am a Master’s student in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Thermo-Fluids Engineering, and graduating in June 2026. My technical interests lie in fluid mechanics, renewable energy systems, experimental analysis, and computational fluid dynamics. During my graduation project at TouchWind B.V. and Eindhoven University of Technology, I work on the experimental design and analysis of wind measurements behind a prototype tilted wind turbine with a six-metre rotor diameter. I also perform Large-Eddy Simulations in OpenFOAM using an Actuator-Disk Model to study turbine wake behaviour and support the interpretation of experimental results. I also completed a Short-Term Scientific Mission at EPFL, where I processed experimental data from a reduced-scale Francis-type pump-turbine tested at the PTMH laboratory. This work involved analysing stress and pressure correlations during steady operation and start-up sequences, performing fatigue damage calculations, and studying flow structures through PIV image post-processing. These experiences have strengthened my skills in CFD, experimental fluid dynamics, turbomachinery, and lifetime assessment, while reinforcing my motivation to contribute to reliable, efficient, and flexible renewable energy technologies. I enjoy connecting measurements, simulations, and engineering judgment to solve practical thermo-fluid problems and translate complex flow data into useful design insight across wind energy, hydropower, and broader energy transition applications.
