Farzad Dizaji

I am a mechanical engineer specialized in computational fluid dynamics(CFD). As a CFD engineer with over +5 years of experience in Sulzer engineering company(Ireland) and Iran Tractor Manufacturing company(Iran-Tabriz), I am excited to apply for the position that involves utilizing Computational Fluid dynamic(CFD) and coding skills to analyze heat transfer, and Thermal cooling and aerodynamic problems. I am confident that my skills and understanding scientific and engineering method make me an excellent fit for this role.
