I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer (CEng IntPE (Irl) MIEI) and hold a BE in Mechanical Engineering and MSc in Engineering Computation from DIT Bolton Street (now TU Dublin). I also hold a PGCert in University Learning and Teaching from TU Dublin. My PhD research involves the development of a state-of-the-art GPU-enabled CFD software package for blood simulation and I have published multiple articles. I have a special interest in fluid simulation and parallel programming and co-founded the TU Dublin CFD Research Group in 2021. My research expertise lies in mathematical modelling, the development of efficient and validated CFD codes, the application of advanced CFD methods to different engineering problems, fluid-structure interaction, and multiphase flows. I currently lecture across multiple fields in the School of Mechanical Engineering at TU Dublin Bolton Street, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics and automation, mechanical design and material science, and supervise both undergraduate and postgraduate research projects. Outside of the university, I taught in Tangshan Polytechnic College, China in 2019, and I delivered an online guest lecture on parallel programming for engineering problems at the Summer School of Modeling, Computing and Data Processing in Science and Engineering at the 14th annual Days of BHAAASin Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2023. This followed Erasmus+ guest lectures that I delivered for the University of Sarajevo in 2023 on advanced computational fluid dynamics methods for engineering problems, multiphase Eulerian-Lagrangian flows for engineering applications, and parallel computing in engineering with a focus on computational fluid dynamics. I am also one of two Irish representatives on the Management Committee of COST Action CA21121 - European Network for the Mechanics of Matter at the Nano-Scale (MecaNano) and COST Action CA22132 - Open Network on DEM Simulations (ON-DEM). Starting with the 2022/2023 academic year, I am currently External Examiner for Atlantic Technological University Donegal for Mechanical Engineering courses, where I assure standards both in the modules and in the overall programme and recommend approval or alternations to continuous assessment or examination papers. Also, I review a sample of assessment material for each module, agree final student marks with the internal examiner and conduct examination reviews as requested. Finally, I am a reviewer for Springer in the field of fluid dynamics and for the Elsevier journal Computers and Geosciences. In terms of career highlights, I was nominated for the One to Watch Award as part of the TU Dublin Research and Innovation Awards in 2023, awarded 3rd prize for a poster at the National High-Performance Compute & Data Ecosystem Symposium in 2022 (HiCoDES 2022), awarded the Engineers Ireland professional title of Chartered Engineer and nominated for the Engineers Ireland Chartered Engineer of the Year Competition in 2020 (top 5% of 400 successful Chartered Engineers), awarded a place at the Sheffield GPU Hackathon in 2019 in collaboration with the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) through the submission of a proposal to optimise preliminary CUDA Lattice Boltzmann-Immersed Boundary Blood Simulator (CULBIBBS) code, and won the Dublin Institute of Technology Fiosraigh Dean of Graduate Students Award in 2015.
