Back to original languageAbout Matei
Mechanical engineer, PhD in fluid mechanics, thermal engineering, and processes, with over 5 years of R&D experience in engineering at CEA Grenoble, Institut Français du Pétrole (IFPEN), and Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. I am proficient in numerical mechanics (CFD, Finite Element Analysis FEA), building and system thermal calculations, mechanical, fluid, and heat transfer system design, computer-aided design (CAD), physical modeling, and Python and MATLAB programming. My work has led to the filing of 3 patents and the publication of several scientific articles, technical notes, and technical dissemination articles.
I have been appreciated by my colleagues for my rigorous, determined, and autonomous work approach, as well as for my adaptability and willingness to learn. I have a very good integration capacity, due to extensive experience living abroad and proficiency in several European languages.
