About me
Welcome to my personal website.
I’m Alexander Yun, a mechanical engineer based in Ottawa, Canada. This is where I keep information about my work, research, publications, and some of the things I enjoy outside work.
Engineering & research
My interests include fluid mechanics, turbulence, heat transfer, structural analysis, and mathematical modelling. I work with numerical simulation and have experience in gas turbine engines, HVAC systems, cooking appliances, medical devices, electronics, and CFD software.
I also enjoy programming, teaching, and providing technical support in computational fluid dynamics.
Background
I graduated with honours in mechanical engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute, where I also completed research on stationary gas turbine power plants. At TU Darmstadt in Germany, my doctoral research focused on modelling turbulent flows.
