Dr Shahed Motaman

About

I gained my BSc and MSc in materials science engineering and PhD in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and materials process simulation from the University of Leeds. I joined the University of Derby in 2020 and prior to that, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Hertfordshire. I have expertise in CFD numerical and physical simulation, gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer, Hybrid powertrain, diesel injector and spray atomization simulation process in the field of mechanical and motorsport engineering.
