Master's student — Hybrid Electric Propulsion Technology | CFD & Thermal Engineering

📍 Cottbus, Germany

About Me

Master’s student in Hybrid Electric Propulsion Technology focused on CFD, battery thermal management (BTMS), heat exchangers, HVAC fundamentals, and fluid-flow simulation. Experienced with ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, MATLAB, Python, nTopology, CATIA, and ParaView for simulation, modelling, post-processing, and technical analysis. Currently working on CFD-based battery cooling using porous media and TPMS heat-exchange structures for electric aircraft applications, with a growing focus on machine learning for flow modelling.
