Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQingfeng Xia is a research software architect specializing in CAD, CAE and AI, with 13 years of experience bridging experimental aerospace engineering and high-performance scientific software. He leads R&D software teams at a Fortune 100 company after roles as a senior research software engineer at UKAEA and as a research associate at Oxford, where his work spanned turbomachinery, tribology and thermal/multiphysics modeling. A PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Manchester, he brings hands-on expertise in CFD/FEA, embedded systems, IoT and machine learning, and is the principal developer of an OpenFOAM workbench for FreeCAD and a multiphysics FEM solver. His contributions to FreeCAD’s FEM module and parallel preprocessing tools demonstrate a practical focus on scaling simulations and improving usability for real-world engineering problems. Colleagues describe him as a programmer-researcher who converts experimental insight into production-grade software and sensors for extreme environments.
