Fluid Mechanics Expert | PhD Researcher (Dr.-Ing.) & MSCA Fellow | Specialized in LaTeX & Engineering Simulations

Profile Summary

I am an MSCA-ITN PhD Researcher at the Technical University of Darmstadt, specializing in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Systems. With a track record of Q1 journal publications and contributions to international engineering books, I provide high-level technical consulting, scientific writing, and numerical modeling services. My expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical engineering and applied physics, specifically in pressure distribution, vacuum systems, and thermal management. I am highly proficient in Python/MATLAB for engineering simulations and am an expert in LaTeX/Overleaf for academic manuscript preparation. I help clients turn raw data into submission-ready, high-impact technical documents.
