About

My educational background is in Instrumentation,Applied Physics and mechanical engineering. I studied at:
-University of Poitiers in France
-Strathclyde University in the UK,
-the prestigious Technical University of Munich in Germany,
-QUT in Brisbane in Australia.

I am a driven, creative and organised executive engineer. I have been a company director since 2011, and this shows up in the way I cut to the chase, build strategies and plans, track progress, report and interact with people. I only do high-quality research and modeling. My moto is: first time right. I delegate simpler work and do all the really challenging work and peer reviews myself.

I have reached the stage in my career where projects in any industry are similar. If it flows, I can design it. For example, the set-up of the CFD with waves for the marine industry is identical to the set-up of an electromagnetic radiation model. The waves need to be dampened at the boundaries of the models so that the model is not riddled with non-physical reflected waves.
Setting up a mesh (pixelisation of the geometry on which the equations are calculated) for a marine foil has exactly the quality criteria as a mesh of a heat exchanger. In all R&D projects, spending between a few days to a few weeks in the most complex cases, enables me to become an expert in the field.

My favorite type of project is R&D.
I love going deep, learning new things, planing and figuring out how something’s going to work and how to optimise it.

I have used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) professionally since 2006. After a thorough CFD software comparison, I selected Siemens STAR-CCM+ and I have used it exclusively ever since. Star-CCM+ is a high productivity CFD software, equivalent to ANSYS Fluent. For more information: ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

My first job (9 years) was in building physics, for a premium building services consultancy. I set up the CFD modelling capability from scratch, and I became the CFD expert in the Australian Standards 1668.2 committee. I performed CFD modelling for: ventilation (natural and mechanical), fire, active facades conjugate heat transfer, pollutant dispersion and wind.
My performance-based designs saved carpark owners and contractors 100,000's of $.
I spent most of 5 years researching active facades that store energy and redirect sunlight deep in the building. I modelled heat transfer, phase change and radiation in the CFD software.

In 2015, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, and I moved back to France temporarily with my family to look after my parents. I decided to start a "portable" consulting and supercomputing business and called it trampoCFD. Trampo for trampoline: my secret weapon to keep a creative mind is an Olympic trampoline break multiple times a day.

I applied my CFD knowledge to improve process performance in many different industries: pneumatic conveyors, mining classifier, injectors, factory, vertical farm and carpark HVAC, irrigation, ohmic heating, coffee machine, marine and wind power generation to name a few.

My skills include:
-dilution/dispersion,
-mixing,
-Multi-phase and phase change (Free surface flow, evaporation/condensation, melting/solidification)
-Electromagnetics (Joule's effect, Ionic wind, electromagnet)
-DEM (grain, sand)
-Conjugate heat transfer
-Automation
-Optimization
-Moving bodies
-CAD: Solidworks and NX
-FEA: Electromagnetic static or dynamic simulations

In 2019, Siemens approved me as a software reseller, which means Siemens recognised my ability to provide technical support to CFD engineers on Star-CCM+. This enables me to continue helping my clients once they develop an in-house CFD capability.

In 2020, I became the lead CFD engineer of a group of 4 engineers and 2 developers who take on the most complex CFD and multiphysics consulting projects .
I hope the above summary gives you a clear idea of my capability. I would love to discuss your project. Please get in touch!
