Focus

Within Monash Motorsport I work primarily on the simulation side of the Aerodynamics and Cooling subsections — building the CFD pipeline, setting up boundary conditions and mass flow rates, and validating designs against analytical targets. My strongest area is CFD development: scripted, repeatable workflows on HPC that cut the manual setup time each simulation campaign demands.

I also work the design side of cooling, building ducting and packaging in Siemens NX and integrating the cooling system into the car's overall architecture. That work currently covers accumulator cooling, with the pipeline set up to extend into motor and inverter cooling.
