I am a final year PhD candidate carrying out research on the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behaviour of road vehicles under unsteady flow conditions. In addition, my research interest lies in the underbody flow aerodynamics and it's aeroacoustic contribution in the cabin noise. Finally, I am also involved in the aeroacoustic contribution of ground simulation techniques and their effect in vehicle aeroacoustic development. My research includes both experimental and computational work performed at University of Durham (Centre for Automotive Research) in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover.
