Dylan Rubini DPhil MEng

Dylan took an MEng in Engineering Science at Oriel College, University of Oxford in 2016 and graduated as a mechanical engineer in 2020. He then moved to St Hugh's College, University of Oxford to complete his DPhil under the supervision of Professor Budimir Rosic, which he completed in 2024. Dylan is now a Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational Engineering and a Research Fellow in Engineering at St Anne's. Dylan is a thermofluids engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of computational science, multiphysics modelling, and machine learning.

His current research focuses on developing multiphysics numerical tools accelerated by multifidelity machine learning, enabling the transition to a zero-carbon society.

Research Interests

• Computationally accelerating multispecies gas-phase and catalytic surface-phase reacting flow modelling in complex flow environments with dense reaction networks.
• Designing and understanding the fundamental flow physics within a new turbomachine for decarbonising hard-to-abate high-temperature reacting and non-reacting industrial heating processes.
• Using high-fidelity numerical computations to understand highly complex turbulent and transonic internal and external flows.
• Developing complex multiphysics and multiscale modelling (e.g., electrochemistry, porous media, reacting flows, etc.)
• Developing unstructured numerical flow solvers for multicore CPU and GPU hardware.
