Development of Interactive Acoustic Apps Supporting the Chair of Vibroacoustics of Vehicles and Machines with the development of Interactive Acoustic Apps, executed and controlled in the web browser on a PC, tablet computer or smartphone. The physical problem is solved in the background on a server by using the finite element method (FEM) and the software COMSOL Multiphysics.

Implementation of an Efficient Global Optimisation (EGO) algorithm for Discrete Element Method (DEM) models Outline: Supporting the Chair for Materials Handling, Material Flow, Logistics with the development of a new open-source framework for the calibration of any number of DEM (Discrete Element Method) models. It relies on the DEM software LIGGGHTS and uses GNU Octave to control the calibration process.

Limits in the Application of Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) in Aerodynamic Testing: A Critical Discussion Outline: A semester thesis, at the Chair of Turbomachinery and Flight Propulsion that studied the limits in the application of pressure sensitive paint measurements, subject to the requirements set under the roadmap of the FLEXTURBINE project, in collaboration with GE GRC.

Scaling Techniques for Rocket Combustion Chambers Outline: Master's theses, at the Chair of Space Propulsion, characterizing subscale rocket combustion chambers- with the single and multi-injector configurations. Implemented using MATLAB.

CFD- based multiphase multispecies cold flow studies in a liquid rocket shear coaxial injector Outline: Bachelor theses, at the Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Analysis Division, on the effects of oxidizer post recess and fuel-oxidizer momentum ratio on the mixing characteristics in a rocket injector; implementation in ANSYS Fluent.

First hand experience of a range of techniques used in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Air India Express.
