Biography
"Navid is a PhD candidate within the Applied Geology group of TUDelft. His research involves the study of subaqueous debris flows and turbidity currents with the aim to develop a numerical process-based approach for simulating these flows and their deposits. In his work he combines experimental results, obtained from flume experiments performed at the Eurotank laboratory of the Utrecht university, with structure preserving numerical approaches. Navid obtained his BSc in aerospace engineering and his MSc in fluid dynamics from TUDelft. His MSc thesis work was focused on error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement within the context of mimetic spectral element methods. In the past he has been a student assistance for “computational modelling†and “computational fluid and solid mechanics†courses and has performed research on numerical modelling of two phase flows at NUMECA international."
