Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Khyn is a simulation and software engineering consultant with 12 years’ experience building robust numerical models and production software for high-performance marine systems. He has led development of hydro, aero and structural simulation, control and data-acquisition systems—notably contributing C++ models and on-board autopilot/data processing that helped Emirates Team New Zealand defend the America’s Cup twice. Comfortable across fluids, structures, thermodynamics and controls, he blends hands-on coding, test automation (including cross-platform fixes to pyScss) and field troubleshooting on embedded and networked systems. Trained in mechanical and maritime engineering at École Polytechnique and the University of Southampton, he combines academic rigour with practical sea-time (including skippering an ocean passage) to solve real-world engineering problems.
