Jr. Aerothermal Engineer

Thomassen Energy BV

  • Led CFD analysis of full-combustor systems and sub-components using Star-CCM+ and ANSYS Fluent, alongside 1D network modelling for aero-thermal assessment with Python and AFT Arrow, translating multi-physics simulations into design decisions for improved aero-thermal robustness and performance.
  • Developed 1D thermal modelling tools for quick temperature assessment, speeding design iteration of combustor liners by improving cooling techniques, defining best practices for liner cooling, and validating the tool via CHT simulation and measurements.
  • Supported commissioning of a first-of-its-kind combustor for GE Heavy Duty GT as Lead Mechanic and Logger, responsible for instrumentation oversight, data logging, troubleshooting, and post-test reviews during atmospheric and high-pressure test campaigns.
  • Conducted flow testing for aerodynamic assessment, including assembly of flow bench, instrumentation setup and layout, and post-processing of results.

Master Thesis Research

KTH

  • Conducted master thesis in aeroacoustics, performing CFD validation of flow-bench data using URANS models, reducing problem complexity without losing accuracy, and setting up tools for quick post-processing.
  • Collaborated with GKN Aerospace as stakeholders and received funding from Vinnova.

Summary
