Contact Dr Paulo Augusto Strobel Freitas Silva
Background
Dr Paulo A. S. F. Silva is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Computational Engineering Sciences at Cranfield University and has a PhD from Cranfield University, a BEng from the University of Brasilia in Mechanical Engineering and an MSc and Mechanical Sciences. Paulo's research has focused on CFD simulation of rotor flows such as Helicopter blades and Wind and tidal turbines. Before Cranfield, he has held positions as substitute lecturer at Federal Institute of Brasilia, where he has taught technical drawing and mechanical design to undergraduate and technician degrees. Paulo has also collaborated as a research assistant on tidal turbines research project funded by an industry-academic partnership which led to the publication of journal and conference papers.
