Proposed multidisciplinary design formulations for transport/energy-efficient electric truck design taking into account aerodynamics, structural sizing, battery sizing as well as operations.Additional work was done on the theory and application of multi-objective optimization for efficient vehicle design.

Visiting researcher at the department of Applied Physics within the Inverse Problem group.

Multi-fidelity aerodynamic shape Bayesian optimization of a subsonic airfoil.A novel methodology was presented for optimization for hierarchical sources of information. The results are compared to adjoint-based gradient optimization.AIAA article: Multi-fidelity efficient global optimization : Methodology and application to airfoil shape designOfficial URL: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2019-3236

Linking High-Fidelity CFD to Overall Aircraft Design tool. Work was done on propagating derivatives through the different chains to enable detailed aircraft pylon optimization.
