Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNima Samkhaniani is a Development Engineer and CFD expert with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and over a decade of experience building and customizing OpenFOAM-based solvers for aerospace, automotive and renewable energy applications. He combines hands-on C++ and Python development with applied research—extending interFoam for boiling simulations and adding heat-transfer features to phaseFieldFoam—while teaching advanced OpenFOAM courses at KIT. As a former R&D founder and ongoing freelance consultant, he translates complex multiphase and heat-transfer problems into practical solutions for industry and academia. Based in Darmstadt, he is as comfortable delivering bespoke consultancy and workshops as he is contributing to open-source CFD toolchains, and he frequently bridges teaching with production-grade solver development.
