Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Treleaven is a combustion expert and software-capable engineer with 20 years’ experience across aerospace and automotive sectors, currently based in Paris and elected to Safran’s company-wide expert network. He holds a PhD completed with Rolls-Royce and combines deep experimental fluid mechanics and multiphase spray expertise with advanced CFD, reduced-order models, and thermo‑/aero‑acoustics for hydrogen and SAF engine development. Nicholas pairs high-performance computing and AI-driven combustion modeling— including tabulated and ML approaches for hydrogen—with hands-on knowledge of digital twins and advanced manufacturing techniques such as laser welding and 3D printing. He contributes actively to open-source tooling and language projects (notably improvements to the D and V language toolchains and the Geany plugin ecosystem), reflecting strong low-level programming skills in D, C and C++. A seasoned project lead, he has managed multinational consortia and multi‑million euro budgets while advising academia as a TU Delft lecturer and Loughborough advisory board member. Colleagues know him for bridging rigorous research, production software, and pragmatic engineering solutions to decarbonise propulsion.
