About
I am a Senior Development Engineer with over 10 years of experience in mechanical and thermofluid systems, specializing in heat pumps, HVAC systems, and energy-efficient technologies. My expertise includes HVAC system design and troubleshooting, heat pump performance analysis, CFD modelling, and reliability engineering (FMEA/FTA). I also have strong experience in experimental testing and data-driven performance evaluation.
Currently at Daikin Europe, I work on refrigerant control strategies and performance optimization for next-generation heat pump systems. With a background in both industrial R&D and academic research at Ghent University, I enjoy solving complex thermal and flow-related problems and turning them into practical and efficient engineering solutions.
