Irina Shishkina

• Developed and maintained software components in BoSSS, a large open-source C#/.NET multiphysics framework. • Analysed project requirements and the existing codebase and translated them into reusable software components from design through implementation, testing and integration. • Designed testable components using object-oriented principles and refactored existing modules to improve maintainability. • Ensured software quality through automated tests, code reviews and Jenkins CI/CD workflows. • Optimised

• Learned C# directly in the BoSSS codebase and implemented multiphase-flow simulation functionality using the Discontinuous Galerkin method.

• Developed a Python tool for thermal analysis of air-cooled turbogenerator components. • The engineering team continued using the tool after completion of the internship.

• Thesis: "Highly Efficient Rotor Cooling Using Heat Pipes" • Combines numerical modelling, algorithm development, validation and scientific software implementation in C#/.NET •Submission planned for Q1 2027

Semester abroad

• Implemented and evaluated numerical methods in an unstructured finite-volume CFD code for compressible high-speed flows, assessing stability, accuracy and computing time. • Master's thesis: "Numerical Simulation of the Vortex Flow Structure Generated in Supersonic Flow past the Fin-Body Interacti

• Analysed numerical methods for the computation of convective fluxes with respect to stability and computing time. • Bachelor's thesis: "Testing of Numerical Schemes for Convective Flux Evaluation in a Supersonic Flow Calculation".
