Summary
Vivek Tanjavooru is a PhD candidate at TUM and an energy systems researcher with nine years' experience applying reinforcement learning, MPC and optimization to battery systems and powerplant integration. He leads projects at Forschungszentrum Allgäu developing modular AI-driven BESS strategies that balance availability and degradation, and his background spans CFD and multi-physics simulation tools—from OpenFOAM solver development to custom Flow3D and MATLAB integrations. Prior industry roles in petrochemical maintenance and oil & gas gave him hands-on systems engineering and operational rigor, while academic work includes validated numerical tools for binder infiltration in 3D printing and mesh/flow studies for turbomachinery. He combines practical plant-level experience with advanced control and ML methods, and routinely builds automation and visualization pipelines (ParaView/Python) to turn complex simulations into actionable insights.
