Senior Aerodynamics, CFD & Multiphysics Engineer
Optumatics LLC.
01.2019 - Current
- Delivered advanced CFD and aerodynamic analysis across external aerodynamics, unsteady flows, combustion, aerothermal systems, HVAC, and urban wind environments, supporting both engineering projects and product development.
- Performed numerical aerodynamic prediction and flow characterization using RANS, URANS, and LES, extracting forces, moments, pressure fields, velocity statistics, and unsteady flow features across low- and high-Reynolds-number regimes.
- Generated and validated CFD meshes (hexa-dominant, polyhedral, Cartesian, overset) with near-wall treatment, y+ control, and grid-convergence assessment, ensuring numerical robustness and physical fidelity.
- Built CFD-based aerodynamic and thermal databases through structured parametric campaigns; automated post-processing and coefficient extraction using Python and MATLAB.
- Developed and integrated custom CFD solvers and simulation frameworks in OpenFOAM, including 6-DOF motion solvers, overset-grid methodologies, and Multiphysics coupling.
- Conducted verification and validation (V&V) against published experimental and wind-tunnel reference datasets, assessing turbulence-model sensitivity and numerical uncertainty.
- Led combustion and reacting-flow simulations (in-cylinder flows, injector characterization dilution tolerance, turbulent jet ignition), calibrating models against experimental and system-level data using GT-Power and Cantera.
- Executed aerothermal and thermal-protection analyses for vehicles and powertrains under extreme operating conditions, coupling 3D CFD with reduced 1D thermal models.
- Delivered HVAC and building-performance CFD studies for large public facilities and museums, addressing thermal comfort, humidity control, indoor air quality, and ventilation effectiveness in compliance with international standards.
- Contributed to scientific software development, including reduced-order thermal-runaway frameworks, linear solvers for combustion CFD, and automated CFD pipelines.
- Progressed through increasing responsibility from Application Engineer → Combustion Model Specialist → Aerothermal Engineer → Senior Technical & Product Lead, reflecting sustained technical growth and leadership.
