Biography
Loïc Dewitte is a DPhil student in the Numerical Analysis Group at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute. His research focuses on developing numerical methods for unsteady conjugate heat transfer simulations of high-temperature flows in gas turbines.
His research interests span a broad range of energy and aerospace problems, with an emphasis on theoretical and numerical work in fluid dynamics. Prior to his DPhil, he contributed to projects on wastewater heat recovery, detonation engines, wind farm control optimisation, and quantum algorithms for fluid dynamics.
He holds a joint Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, a Research Master in Fluid Dynamics from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, and a Master of Research in Future Propulsion and Power from the University of Cambridge.
