Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNijso Beishuizen is a Senior Researcher and applied mathematical physicist with 12+ years of expertise in CFD, combustion modeling and automatic design optimization, currently advancing aerospace research at NLR after a long R&D tenure at Bosch Thermotechnology. He combines hands-on software development—most notably as a core developer and test automation contributor to the widely used open-source SU2 CFD suite—with academic roles as part-time assistant professor at TU Eindhoven and PhD/MSc supervision across leading universities. Nijso’s work spans detailed chemistry, turbulence and multiphase modeling for heating appliances and burners, and he has a track record of translating complex physics into robust simulation tools and funded public–private projects. Equally comfortable writing funding proposals and balancing ledgers, he serves as Treasurer for both the SU2 Foundation and Dutch flame research society, reflecting a blend of technical leadership and operational stewardship.
