About

Akshay Sudesh is a diligent and ambitious mechanical engineer with over 3 years of experience in the CAE industry. He has a strong inclination towards Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a clear passion for software development. Currently working as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software, Akshay intends to leverage his expertise into a successful career in problem solving and product development. Akshay is a committed team player, quick learner, and believer in an ethical work environment. He possesses strong technical skills in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Turbulence modeling, Compressible flows, Large eddy simulation, Solver development, Heat exchanger design, Thermal modeling, Convective heat transfer, Electronic thermal management, and Data analysis. He is also proficient in commercial CFD software such as Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Altair SimLab, and ANSYS Fluent. Furthermore, he has expertise in preprocessing tools such as Altair Hypermesh, ANSYS ICEM-CFD, CATIA V5R20, and SolidWorks. He has programming skills in Python, C, C++, Java, Linux OS, and SLURM Workload Manager. In his previous roles, Akshay has worked as a CAE Analysis Intern at Altair and a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Cincinnati. At Altair, he explored the capabilities of the Finite volume solver ElectroFlo used for electronics cooling, identified thermal hotspots, calculated overall pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger, created an automated R-Test using Python for SimLab, created tutorial videos, and populated the SimLab Help documentation. At the University of Cincinnati, he carried out numerical studies validating the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) computational technique with Dynamic Smagorinsky sub-grid scale model for shaped hole flat plate film cooling, numerically validated the RANS technique with K-Omega turbulence model and CHT for multiple perforation flat plate film cooling of cylindrical holes, actively participated in the Siemens Technology Center at UC by promoting the academic usage of Siemens products, created instructional videos, demonstrated simulations of subsonic flow over NACA 4412 airfoil, Von-Karman vortex generation of flow over cylinder, transonic flow over an airfoil, and turbulent flow over a 3D wing, and guided students to carry out a simulation of any flow field of their desire for the final course project. Akshay holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and
