Summary
Mohsen is a Research Associate at the Department of Aeronautics, which he joined since Dec. 2019. He is currently a member of Sherwin Lab and Load Control and Aeroelastics lab working with Professors Spencer Sherwin and Rafael Palacios. He is a specialist in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a strong background on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation and development of numerical methods.
His research interests are in development and numerical simulation of Fluid-Structure interaction (FSI) with particular emphasis on highly deformable structures with application to wind and renewable energy as well as bio-inspired FSI problems. He is currently developing a high-fidelity FSI code in the Nektar framework for wall-resolved aeroelastic and Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) simulation of wind-turbine blades. This work is funded by EU project High-performance computing in wind energy.
Prior joining Imperial College, Mohsen worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Applied Fluid Mechanics Lab at KAIST during 2016-2019. During his work at KAIST, Mohsen developed Immersed boundary method (IBM) code for FSI simulation of bio and nature-inspired flows. He also secure a one year KAIST GCORE grant and participated in several industrial projects with Samsung Electronics Inc. and Unsiem Co.
Mohsen received his MSc and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran. His PhD thesis entitled "Development of a numerical scheme for simulation of compressible multi-material flows" where he developed a high-resolution numerical scheme for FSI simulation of highly deformable elastoplastic structure in compressible flow.
