Biography
Dr Giove De Cosmo is a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Numerical Modelling in the Department of Engineering Science. He works in the Computational Fluid Dynamics group, led by Prof Luca di Mare.
His research area is computational modelling of gas turbines, with a specific interest for the simulation of fluids and particle-laden flows in compressors and turbines. His work is currently focussed on the numerical modelling of ice accretion in aircraft engines in collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc.
Giove obtained an MEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering in 2018, followed by an MRes in Fluid-Dynamics in 2019 and a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics in 2023. Giove's PhD research was focussed on the development of a Large-Eddy Simulation software for the modelling of hot gas ingestion through turbine rim-seals.
Giove is also appointed as a teaching assistant in the Department of Engineering Science, where he regularly collaborates in lab demonstrations and tutoring.
