My role involves extensive work with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, alongside various geometric manipulation tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and meshing tools. I advise customers on enhancing their simulations using scripting, statistical data analysis, optimization algorithms, and surrogate modeling (ML algorithms) to increase both utility and speed. Additionally, I have gained proficiency in hybrid High-Performance Computing (HPC) scenarios across Linux and Windows platforms for simulation execution.Key Responsibilities:- Providing application and project support for engineering design and optimization projects.- Offering recommendations on Design Optimization, Robustness and Reliability based optimization, Statistical Data Analysis, Design of Experiments, CAE Process Automation, and the use of High-Performance Computing.- Developing scripts to automate third-party software simulations as part of design optimization studies.
