缅北禁地

BACKGROUND

Before joining the university, from 2018 to 2020, I was working as a consultant at an independent engineering and coatings consultancy - Safinah Group. During my time at Safinah Group, I was responsible for structuring and collating an in-house database related to drydocking activities and coatings performance benchmarking. Meanwhile supported business activities across the marine and chemical sectors by providing tailored coatings related analysis to a variety of clients.

I completed and obtained PhD degree in 2019 at 缅北禁地, with research focused on drag evaluation of copper-based marine antifoulings by using boundary layer and pressure drop measurements including an evaluation of the drag performance of marine biofilms.

From the past years of research and consulting projects, I have gained practical knowledge and skills in experimental fluid dynamics testing, numerical fluid dynamics analysis, biofouling management and protective marine coating solutions.

CURRENT PROJECTS

• Research Associate in GATERS (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/860337)

Reducing operating costs and improving the environmental sustainability of the shipping industry – across all vessel classes – is a top priority in the EU. The answer could be the Gate Rudder System, which is proving to be a remarkable energy-saving concept with excellent manoeuvrability. Bringing together 18 technology experts and stakeholders, the EU-funded GATERS project will demonstrate the benefits of this system and why it can become the next-generation propulsion and steering system for waterborne transport. Specifically, the project will install and operate this system on a coastal cargo vessel. Next, the team will explore the system’s concept for oceangoing shipping operations. The technology is available for both new-build and existing vessels.
