My research focuses on the use of computational modelling to supplement experimental modelling, particularly in the aerospace and green transport and energy sectors. The increased use of faster and more reliable computational modelling is a key component in the international requirement to make environmentally friendly and sustainable technology a reality more quickly. This involves the use of advanced mathematical analysis, programming, and the use of high powered computational facilities.
