Research Assistant

Cranfield University

Research Assistant at the Welding and Additive Manufacturing Centre focused on Python/C++ simulation automation, thermal-mechanical modelling, reduced-order methods, and integration of laser-scan data with digital manufacturing workflows.

• Built Python/C++ simulation automation pipelines for thermal-mechanical modelling and process-window analysis.
• Developed phase-transformation strain models using test-driven statistical fitting and thermal-expansion datasets.
• Integrated laser-scan data with simulation workflows for geometric conformity assessment and deviation-driven modelling.
• Implemented rapid reduced-order approaches producing industry-usable simulation results in minutes.
• Developed FORTRAN heat-source models and C++ Abaqus subroutines for nonstandard material and process cases.
• Delivered technical reports, experimental analyses, and multi-stakeholder design reviews.
