Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Seminar - Kinetic energy and entropy preserving (KEEP) schemes for high-fidelity computations of compressible flows
Dr. Yuichi KUYA is an Associate Professor in Department of Aerospace Engineering at Tohoku University in Japan. He obtained a Bachelor and Master (two-year research program) degrees at Osaka University in Japan, conducting experimental studies in heat transfer. He then completed his PhD degree study at the University of Southampton in the U.K., experimentally and numerically studying ground effect aerodynamics and surrogate modeling.
After working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Southampton, he joined the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team as a CFD Aerodynamicist and designed a number of F1 aerodynamic parts. He moved to Tohoku University in Japan as an Assistant Professor in 2016 and became an Associate Professor in 2022.
His current research and teaching interests are computational fluid dynamics (CFD), aerodynamics, quantum computation, and optimization.
