Profile

Biography

Nitish Anand earned his Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Process and Energy Department of TU Delft. During his Master thesis project, he developed a novel methodology to design the supersonic stator for Organic Rankine Cycle turbines. He was appointed as a PhD Researcher in the Power and Propulsion group of TU Delft's Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and is currently researching on Multi-disciplinary design optimisation methods for small-scale high-speed turbines. He has a keen research interest in fluid dynamics, turbomachinery and optimisation methods. As a part of his PhD he has developed Parablade, an open-source turbomachinery blade parametrisation program, whose code is available on GitHub
