Summary
Wen Xin is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology Centre with eight years of experience applying CFD, experimental fluid mechanics, and mechatronics to environmental monitoring and flow control. He leads development of smart multi-robotic systems for real-time water quality monitoring, combining hands-on robotics, LabVIEW control, and particle imaging velocimetry. His PhD work at Nanyang Technological University produced custom LES inlet treatments, reduced-order modeling (POD/DMD) for 3D flows, and particle-tracking CFD tools, reflecting deep proficiency in C/C++, Matlab, and OpenFOAM/Fluent. Previously he boosted mini-jet engine combustion thrust by 30% through CFD and optimization as a research engineer, showing a strong track record of translating simulation into performance gains. Comfortable across experimental design, CAD, and embedded control, he pairs rigorous numerical modeling with practical system integration. Colleagues find his blend of academic rigor and applied engineering—especially his ability to fuse multi-robot sensing with advanced flow diagnostics—distinctive.
