Find your engagement path
Each audience has a recommended starting point on this site and a contact route matched to the work.
Engineering & industry
Aero-engine OEMs, consultancies, test facilities, and capital-constrained hardware teams needing experimental depth, CFD validation, or technical review.
- Projects — case studies and campaign logs
- Turbomachinery deterioration — flagship industrial research thread
- Instrumentation — probe and uncertainty methods
Researchers & institutions
University groups, national labs, and co-authors on aerothermal experimentation, turbomachinery performance, or open-hardware instrumentation.
- Publications — papers and manuscripts in preparation
- ORCID profile
- Technical notes — derivations and methods
Venture & field partners
Operators, investors, and technical partners in applied aerodynamics, renewable-energy field validation, or instructional systems at scale.
- KiteGeneration initiative — operational and field-validation context
- Projects — mesoscale wind and systems work
- Venture leadership — credentials on About
Recruiters & hiring
R&D and aerothermal engineering roles — evidence before outreach.
Conference & speaking
Seminars, panels, faculty workshops, and technical commentary.
Parents & guardians
Admissions and STEM support — separate from industry collaboration.
Professional programs
Scoped engagements with strong repeat demand — each backed by published work on this site. Fees and scope are agreed offline; scheduling uses invitation-only booking after alignment (ADR-009).
Corporate aerothermal workshops
Half-day or multi-session programmes on measurement practice, CFD–experiment validation, or turbomachinery aerothermal topics — built from methods articles and research themes.
Technical review sessions
Focused 90-minute reviews of CFD setups, instrumentation plans, or experimental uncertainty budgets — ideal before a major campaign or design gate.
Instrumentation advisory
Probe calibration strategy, multi-facility transfer, and uncertainty propagation — grounded in the instrumentation theme and probe uncertainty note.
Corporate STEM training
Structured fluid-mechanics and quantitative-reasoning modules for graduate intake or upskilling — drawn from the open curriculum and calculators.
Keynotes & faculty seminars
Conference keynotes, department seminars, and panel commentary on aerothermal R&D, venture validation, or STEM education.
Research collaboration blocks
Co-supervision, joint proposals, and multi-facility benchmarking — see publications and projects for evidence base.
What collaboration can cover
Representative scopes grounded in documented work — ECAT HPT campaigns (Rolls-Royce sponsored), multi-facility 5-hole probe benchmarking, the 2024 AM heat-exchanger publication, and KiteGeneration field validation. Each engagement is defined explicitly before work begins.
Technical advisory
- ECAT-style aerothermal campaign design — thermography + pneumatic surveys, uncertainty budgets per probe note
- RANS validation review for deteriorated HPT hardware — observables locked to HPT project log
- Turbomachinery aerothermal performance assessment (Rolls-Royce-sponsored programme context)
- DMLS heat-exchanger feasibility — low-order models + 2024 paper workflow
Research partnership
- Co-supervised student projects and facility access planning
- Multi-facility instrumentation benchmarking (Oxford open-hardware probe, four European tunnels)
- Manuscript co-authorship on aerothermal methods
- Open-resource publication (notes, calculators, curriculum)
Applied operations
- WRF wind-resource and site-selection studies — mesoscale mapping project
- Technical due diligence on hardware ventures
- Grant-aligned engineering documentation
- Speaking and technical workshops — press & media
How engagements work
- Review public work — use Engineering, projects, and publications to confirm fit
- Write with context — problem definition, scope boundaries, timeline, sponsorship or confidentiality constraints
- Scoped conversation — align on deliverables, capacity, and institutional requirements (e.g. Oxford/RRS sponsorship boundaries where relevant)
- Formal agreement — consulting contract, research MoU, or venture term sheet as appropriate
