Alex Cavanagh

Experienced Aerodynamics Engineer with a strong background in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and vortical flow analysis. I hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering (pending corrections), focused on swept-wing vortex flows, and currently apply advanced CFD tools including Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, ANSA, and ParaView in industry.

Passionate about solving complex fluid dynamics problems and optimising aerodynamic performance, I bring both research expertise and practical engineering experience to the table. Interested in roles that challenge me technically and offer opportunities to develop innovative solutions in aerodynamics and thermal/fluid systems.
