Mr

DPhil Candidate

Biography

Jakub is an aerospace engineer pursuing a DPhil in Future Propulsion and Power at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute under the supervision of Professor John Coull. His research focuses on the development of multi-hole pneumatic probes to mitigate pneumatic averaging errors in unsteady flow. Jakub’s work combines computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, and wind tunnel experiments. He holds an MRes from Cambridge, obtained as part of the EPSRC CDT in Future Propulsion and Power programme. Jakub completed his undergraduate studies with an MEng from Manchester, where he led the Hyperloop Manchester aerodynamics team.

He received the Engineering Leadership Scholarship from the Royal Academy of Engineering, worked on ESA student projects, and has experience in space debris removal and fluid–structure interaction

Current Research Projects

Accurate Aerodynamic Measurement in Unsteady Flow: This project will address bias errors affecting multi-hole probes in unsteady flow by developing new pneumatic probes that reduce the impact of these errors on measurement accuracy.
