Summary
Francesco Neri is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft with three years of hands-on experience in computational fluid dynamics, scientific computing, and turbomachinery. His doctoral work focuses on numerical modeling of flow instabilities in high-speed compressors, building on prior roles applying CFD and turbulence modeling to unsteady turbomachinery and ML-driven turbulence-combustion models. He has industry experience across gas turbine mechanical design, stress analysis for oil & gas piping, and additive manufacturing for aero engine components, giving him a practical engineering perspective alongside deep simulation expertise. Comfortable bridging research and application, Francesco has worked at institutions including the von Karman Institute, CNRS, and Fermilab, where he combined CAD, FEM and thermal–mechanical analysis. He brings a rare mix of academic rigor and industry-oriented problem solving, often integrating machine learning techniques into physics-based models.
