Dean Sesalim

Postdoctoral Research Fellow , Swinburne University of Technology ,Australia

Accomplished researcher and mechanical engineer specialising in advanced aerodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). holds a PhD in Engineering from Swinburne University, with academic contributions that advanced sustainable design, bridging sustainability and aerodynamics, and provided efficient solutions to complex fluid-structure engineering problems. The PhD research focused on optimising small wind turbine performance using biological inspiration, exploring aeroacoustics, aerofoil control, and structural feasibility in four peer-reviewed publications in the journal of Energies.

Complementary to the PhD, holds a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Deakin University and an Advanced Diploma of Aerospace Engineering from RMIT. with over a ten-year of seamlessly integrated academic principles with practical engineering, using tools like Ansys Fluent, Ansys Workbench, and SolidWorks produce strength-to-weight ratio configurations, model calibration, mesh quality evaluation, and result-specific simulation. resulting in expertise that extend to complex Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis, structural optimisation, and technical report writing.
