Shayan shows his computational side.
Why did you choose CFD as a career path?
I was always interested in fluids and heat transfer since my undergraduate days. Over time I realized that the computational side was more appealing than the experimental side, hence the decision. I find the computational side more appealing because it gives results faster, and many times it is easier to tweak the parameters a little and learn a lot about the problem from the simulation results. Also I love programming.
What do you like so far about working at Flow Science?
I think the best thing about working at Flow Science is the people. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Also, it is a great atmosphere and you feel like you are part of one big family.
You were last living in Atlanta, Georgia, which is quite a change from Santa Fe, NM. What do you like or dislike about Santa Fe?
I think Santa Fe is very beautiful. I was skeptical before coming here, but have fallen in love with this place after coming here.
