Personal profile
Biography
I am a Research Assistant in the Energy, Emissions, and Environment Research Group (EEERG) at the University of Huddersfield, specializing in the integration of engineering, renewable energy, health, and sustainability. My research expertise lies in fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), aerodynamics, and multi-phase flows, with a particular focus on the hybrid optimization of wind turbine systems through machine learning. By integrating high-fidelity simulations, data-driven modeling, and digital twin frameworks, I develop predictive and optimization methodologies to enhance indoor air quality, advance sustainable building retrofits, and improve energy efficiency. My work seeks to bridge fundamental fluid mechanics with real-world engineering applications, contributing to measurable advancements in health, environmental policy, and sustainable energy systems.
